Nov 7, 2009 Bready pale malt akin to a pale ale: earthy and bitter. Decent Euro hop. Bavarian malt but with a hint of US hops.
The appearance is clear golden orange. Decent finger of eggshell white head that shrinks quickly.
Severely bitter Bavarian malt flavor. A nice flowery/Euro hop adds another dimension of flavor. A really good American-style amber. Flowery hops add a lot. Butterscotch.
Creamy and smooth feel, butter. Good for style. A damn fine amber. Buttery and smooth and nice. Better than the sum of its parts.

Oct 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a slight white head. Lightly bready aroma. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel, but there is a good amount of grassy bitter to tamp down the sweet. Better than a macro lager.

Sep 29, 2009 Sampled at Lundeen’s Brew Ha-Ha 2009. Pours a clear amber color with a decent white head. Aroma has a nice toasted malt presence, slightly bready with mild grainy notes, hops adds a light flowery and grassy note to the brew. Flavor has a strong sweet vienna malt toasted presence with mild grassy notes. The body is pretty good and it has a modest amount of carbonation. Overall the flavor was great on this pretty good brew.

Sep 22, 2009 I guess amber lagers are this way, not impressive, but ok. Clear copper color, thin white haed. Hints of malt aroma, no hops. Caramel and malt flavors. Medium bodied, hop bitterness that lingered.

Aug 22, 2009 Had at the brewpub after a tour of the place. Not bad, but reminded me of Sam Adams... not sure how I feel about that.

Jul 30, 2009 Draft at Craft. Pours gold with off-white head. One of the golder ambers I’ve had. The nose and flavor had hopcitrus, pale male, and some mild fruit, but not a great deal was going on with this one. Average and forgettable for me.

Jul 28, 2009 Bottle and draft. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Chewy caramel notes, butter scotch, lighter liquid nuttiness and a caramel earthy bitter finish. Eh.

Jul 24, 2009 Tap at Barcade: Amber pour (surprise) with a fading off white film. The aroma is quite buttery- lots of diacetyl with a caramelized bready note. Average carbonation to the light body- the flavor is buttery as well. Some caramelized biscuit qualities are detectable underneath the diacetyl and buttered popcorn flavors. Has a grassy finish. Might be decent minus the diacetyl.
