Malty beer. Pours yellow orange in color. Smooth malt flavors. Little or no hop presence, at least I didn't notice it. It was a ok beer.

Amber is not one of my favorite styles, but this one is pretty nice. Very clean on the palate. Color may be a tad bit light for an amber, but not much. Nice head. A bit on the bitter side, and definately more hoppier than last year’s rendition I tried, but considering its from the American West, its not surprising.

One of my favorite ambers. Nice amber color. Malty nose with a off-white head. Sweet caramel start with a nice hop profile to even out the sweetness. Clean finish.

Aroma is a nice blend of piney, citrusy hops and caramel malt. Red color, not much head. Flavor is similar to the aroma, pretty even balance, being neither sweet or bitter. Medium body. A good session ale and example of what an amber ale should be.

Pours yellow-orange with a lasting white head. Malty dried fruit aroma. Smooth malt flavor with carmel notes. No real hop presence. OK session beer, well made, with no defects.

Fruity, malty aroma, some grapefruity hop and caramel. Light-medium amber-orange color, hazy with some suspended particles. Balanced flavor profile, lightly grainy and sweet with a moderate dosage of citric, fruity hop. Juicy finish, with a pleasantly effervescent mouthfeel and medium body. Very drinkable and surprisingly tasty.

Fairly bitter for an amber. Tasted more like an English Pale Ale to me. It had good balance of hops to maltiness.
