Sep 15, 2004 Pours a clear and rusty orange with a white fluffy head. Aroma is grassy hops and caramel malt and fruit similar to peaches. The flavor is of grassy hops , sweet carmel which carries to the end with no dryness. Medium bodied beer.

Appearance: rustic amber hue, with a succint, perfunctory head.
Aroma: sweetness itself, rich, malty, with precious, but lovable, fruitiness, hints of cherries, peach, melon.
Taste: light, happy hoppiness at first, then that rich maltiness continues through the flavor. Body is light to medium, medium-length finish, accompanied by continuing, delightful flavor.
Not a bad amber you’ve got there, Houston.

Sep 3, 2004 Slight hoppy/sweet scent with a medium head. Has a clear orange/amber color. Has a initial malty flavor with a hop influenced bitter finish. This is a straight forward amber ale with a full flavor, a little on bitter side, but a good hoppy bitter.

Aug 18, 2004 Pours a coppery amber colour with a nice white frothy head. No Aroma to speak. The Flavour though is roasted malt sweet balanced just rite with a hoppy and somewhat bitter finish. Goes down very lite and refreshing but with lots of flavour. This beer is gonna be one of my staples for 6.67 a six pack man you just can’t beat it. Salud!

Jul 25, 2004 In the bottle at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in "Bush" Airport, Houston. This beer sparkles on the tongue with a late hop aftertaste surprise. Spunky little palate with pleasant hop tickle on the side of the mouth and tip of the tongue. A bit lighter in color than I had expected for an amber. This beer is the color of the rising sun over Corpus Christi Beach. Some lace on the top of the glass. Not much head.

Jul 24, 2004 Updated: Apr 17, 2005This is , like the kristal weizen, is much better on tap at the brauerei. Rich, malty with slight hints of sweetness but the hops keep the overall tone bitter.

Jul 8, 2004 My buddy smuggled a 12-pack of this stuff from Dallas. I thought he was going to smuggle some Zagenbock (sic), but he did not. It’s not that bad for an amber ale. It’s a little stronger than Bass.

Jul 6, 2004 Updated: Aug 26, 2004The three ways to get this one are bottle, draft, and cask...the three are utterly different...I love a lot of different cask beers, but this I am not a fan of...the tap is a very smooth almost mild American pale...sweet nose and smooth palate with little hoppy "bite" to it...the bottle on the other hand is one of my favorite bottles around...strong hoppy finish and nose...
