Oct 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle. 5.2% ABV per the brewery’s website. Pours a thin head, with slight lacing, over a clear dark amber (SRM 15) body.....nose of light malts, including a bit of caramel, bit of bread.....taste is very light malts with a bit of hop bitterness.....mouth feel is light and watery, carbonation medium. This needs more malt, and higher hops. I can tell it is an Amber, but can also tell why Uncle Sam might be trying to keep it under wraps.

Aug 25, 2009 Thanks to Raoul for this beer. Clear bronze pour with little head. Malty nose with honey and caramel. Overall a pretty good amber, but needs a bit more body and hop flavor.

Aug 20, 2009 Amber color...thick, fluffy head, though it laces poorly. Good malt nose, with subtle hints of caramel. Profile of the aroma is enhanced in the front...mouthfeel has just a slight crispness. Continued malt flavor in the back, yet much more watered down. Finish is long and dry. Pretty decent effort with this amber...just seems to be lacking some in body and flavor.

Jun 8, 2009 Flaske 0,355l. Gyldenbrun på farge Et ok kremaktig skum som varte en god stund. Innbydende maltaroma ispedd litt aprikos. Avdempet - iitt vasssen - smak med islett av karamell. Svakt bitter avrunding. Takk til Christina & Håvard som slepte denne flaska med seg over halve USA før den havnet i Tromsø! KI=6

May 30, 2009 A competent effort, but not much more. A little weaker than I’d expect from an amber ale, which is really disappointing. An entirely meh-worthy beer.

Apr 13, 2009 Thanks ericandersnavy. I went into this with a lot of negative expectations, not liking ambers and all, and was surprised that this did not really let me down. Bottles opens with no carbonation, bad sign. Pours a hazy orange amber. A vigorous pour yielded a creamy light beige head. The aroma is sweet, some caramel, earthy, malty, bready, mild nutty character. The flavor is sweet and malty, some caramel, bready/earthy flavor, mild bitterness. A very easy drinking brew, soft carbonation and a mild bitterness.
