Found this beer at Bevmo. After trying it I am wishing I could get it at more locations. Great Ale taste, finishes a little strong but still good.

Bottle thanks to Lowe1983. Light caramel/orange color with a small, off-white head. Hoppy aroma for an amber. Pine and citrus hops dominate. Candied apple malts under the hops. The hops are the front runner in the flavor as well. Pine, orange and lemon hop flavor. Sweet malts come in after the hops similar to the aroma. Finishes bitter with the pine coming through rather strong. Nicely carbonated, medium body. For an amber its fairly hopped. Enjoyable for sure.

Pours a brownish-amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of plenty of citrus and pine hops for an amber, caramel, and sweet malts to finish it out. Flavor starts off subtle then the sweeter tones of the caramel and sweet malts begin and then finishes with a strong citrus and pine flavor. Flavor lingers but not too long with a dry finish. One of my favorite ambers I’ve had but I’m sure that has a lot to do with the strong hop finish on this one. I think it would be better if there were more flavor up front but after the initial flavor it’s very delicious

(bottle) Purchased at the MLCC in Winnipeg. Nose is awfully citrus with a strong malt balance. Incredible orangy flavour and bitter finish. Very nice treat.

Clear, amber golden with an off-white head leaving some lacework. Soft caramel aroma with some citric accents. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel while the finish is dry with fresh aroma hops.

Dark brown/burnt red pour with a thin off white head. Aroma of grassy hops. Taste of iced tea and hops. Nice carbonation. Dry finish. Very delicious.

Bottle: Deep amber, toffee hues, large foamy light beige head, sticky lacing.   Soft toasted malt nose, definite hop presense, on the grainy side.   For an Amber it seems like it might be more Pale Ale oriented in the nose.   Pale malts up front, minor hop bite, a little grainy, otherwise laid back.   Seems a little chalky on the finish.   Lingering grainy bitterness.   Body and mouthfeel are both moderate.   Meh, not enough malt for me to think of it as an Amber.   Fits more of the Pale Ale bill.   Decent, but the aftertaste yields a little metallic funk, along with some plain ole grainy bitterness.

A very tasty Amber. Loads of hops, but milder than an IPA. Smooth, malty, flavorful amber. The only negative thing I had was that I waited so many years to try it. I was very impressed.
