Commercial Description:
The Amber is a beer with a great balance of malt and hops, and has an exquisite aroma provided by fresh Cascade hops. It is the perfect beer for someone who wants more flavor than the Golden but isn’t ready for the darkness of a Brown Ale.

Sampler at the brewpub - Poured a reddish amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy with slight citrus and some malt... aroma not that strong. Flavor is slightly sour, some hops (citrus) and some fruity malts. Again, flavor is not that pronounced. Jut OK...

Draft at brewpub. Mild semi-sweet aroma, mostly malty caramel. Deep orange-amber body, off-white head. Flavor is somehow sourish, slightly unpleasant, with a bit of malt. Clean and refreshing finish.

Draught. Nose is robust cascade hops which slightly enticing to a fresh brew, light fruits linger in the background. One dimensional but decent aroma. Pours a muddy brown color with decent head retention. Initial taste is lights fruits, malt character and caramel. Mid palate to finish has a good hop character. Palate duration is above average. Decent head retention but average.

what an odd amber. Tap at the Shed in Stowe,VT. Amber/light brown color with no head. Malty and fair aroma bjut flavor is weird. Malty but also tart and weird. No hops to mention. Not a great amber at all.
