Apr 11, 2004 Nice brew! Significantly more hoppy than your normal amber ale; kind of a mix of an amber and IPA. Pours a deep clear beautiful amber with an off-white head. Taste is great; there's significant floral hops, grapefruit, pine and citrus flavors. Mouthfeel is full, round and glorious. Highly recommended if you like ballsy hoppy amber ales.

Mar 27, 2004 Clear amber body with a quickly dissipating medium tan head. Aroma is sweet, strong grapefruit, floral, caramel. Taste is medium sweet grapefruit, supplemented by light caramel and floral notes. Medium body. More aggressive than "amber ale" suggests, which in this case is a good thing.

Mar 23, 2004 Deep reddish amber. Aroma is caramel and citrus. Flavour is well malted with strong grapefruit of cascade hops. One of the best ambers.

Mar 20, 2004 I immediately noticed the pungent pine aroma of this beer- much like that of Bells Two-Hearted Ale- with a bit of biscuit in the background. The body is rather clear copper with a thin light tan head. Flavor begins with the pine assault but biscuity, cerealy, caramely malts lend character to the brew. Leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Mar 17, 2004 Nice bottles on these beers. The Prohibition is a nice amber/red with floaties. Nose--grapefruit definitely. Quite hoppy for an Amber, like Bells. Almost tastes like an IPA. Nice mellow flavor, bitter aftertaste, leaving the mouth tasting of grapefruit rind. (My friends compare this mostly to Bells Two Hearted Ale.)

Mar 4, 2004 Really hoppy! Caramel and flowery, not your average amber. Awesome bottle too.

Mar 3, 2004 A nicely hopped amber session ale. Pretty rich orangey copper colour with a lingering head, although a slight one. Got some caramel and some hops and it was lightly creamy in the mouth. Nicely balanced with a slight bitter aftertaste - not really sure it's like an amber ale although it's worth having.
