Commercial Description:
Dark red in color, medium body with a nice hop balance. Our strongest ale, very clean tasting with complex malt character. A west coast adaptation of a traditional amber ale.

Clear dark amber with a slight head. Mild sweet caramel malt aroma. Flat watery mouthfeel. Mildly sweet malty flavor with berry fruits. Not much going on here flavor wise.

Rich malty nose, smells like fresh sweet wort, caramel and nutmeg hints. Brownish red, hints of orange, and a soapy medium head. Toasty caramel syrup sweetness, mild bitterness. Medium carbonation, slightly thin body, really rich and malty finish. Nice all around beer, maltiness really shines.

Bomber I got in Dallas. Shared with bikesandbeer and my gf cyn. Pours dark red with a tan ring. Nose is a dead maltiness. Taste is slightly amber with a lingering sweetness. This isn’t horrible but its not great either.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with lb4lb (thanks!). Poured a deeper amberish / copper color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee with some citrus peels. Tastes of caramel, toffee, citrus, and toasted malts.

Draft Brownish Red in color with a small white head. aroma of caramel, malt. Flavor is sweet, malty, caramel, a little bit of hops. This is a sweet watery beer, and not bad but really not all that great either.

The aroma is a soft yeasty smell. It makes me wonder what is lizard head about this beer - did they use lizards heads as ingredients? or did lizards come up with this beer? the taste is a light sweet malt. it ends with a little sourness. For the price, I kind of expected a little more hop backbone.
