Commercial Description:
This is an American style amber ale with distinctive hop flavor and aroma. The hop character is a result of the blending of Mt. Hood and Willamette hops. It is highlighted by the light amber color and balanced by malt undertones. We recommend this beer for those who enjoy hop characteristics, but don't want to be overwhelmed by them.

Thanks turdferguson for sharing. Pretty standard for an Amber. Sour malt character, mild sweetness, leafy hops, bleh.

Bottle (warm – salvaged a bottle that fell off the top of the fridge and compromised its seal)… Mostly clear, deep, dirty orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Decent retention. The toasty nose offers up lots of caramel and biscuit, but also has an earthy undertone. Medium-bodied with modest carbonation. Even warm, the flavor is well-balanced as the toasted, caramely sugars are toned down by just-enough earthy bitterness. Finishes crisp, then lightly sweet. Dang, maybe all beers should be drunk at about 80° F. Bottle provided by riversideAK!

Thanks to Sam for sharing this one! Clear amber. CAramel and lemon. Slightly acidic flavor which was probably unintentional, but I liked it

Pouring with a modest-sized frothy ivory coloured head which produced a ’bit’ of lacing, the colour was a most attractive rich amber. The aroma was gently malted and the taste was of some nice malt. A plesant, refreshing beer to drink.

12 oz bottle thanks to Alex. Pours a bright red/amber color with a huge and thick white head. The aroma is decent; light hops and loads of caramel malts. The flavor is full of a meaty caramel malt, light hops, some sweet fruitiness as well. A nice brew. Finishes somewhat soapy and bitter.
