Thunder Canyon Deep Canyon Amber

Brewed by Thunder Canyon Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Tucson, Arizona USA

The beer pours a nice transpicuous amber color, the head is modest in size, the color a light tan and as it erodes, it leaves behind a fair to middling sheet of lace. Lots of malt in the nose, somewhat sweet, citrus crisp and fresh, as is the start, full of malt and the top middling in feel, the finish prickly in its acidity, the hops plentiful and pleasant in their spicy bite. Aftertaste dry and lingering, sorry folks apparently “Draught Only” at this time had mine at the “Papago Brewery”.

On tap at Red, White, and Brew. Pours a slightly ruddy brown/pils color with minimal, but creamy white head. Aroma is very malty with very interwoven notes of pine/citrus hops. Taste is very easy drinking; the hops and malt go together very nicely. This was very refreshing and enjoyable. In terms of flavor it pretty much exactly halfway between a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and a Fat Tire. I could drink it every day.

Medium gold color. Malty and slightly sweet. Medium body. Full flavor. Mouthfeel is smooth. Smooth taste. Finish is smooth. Aftertaste is malty, with a slight bitterness.

i grabbed a growler of this to watch the superbowl with... should have grabbed two! pours a perfect brownish amber with a small off white-tannish head. aromas of caramel, malt, mild pine and citrus... especially orange. the flavor is caramely... almost robustly so... also, there is some spiciness, grass, wood/earthy notes and hints of pine before a fairly dry finish. it is quite full bodied (especially for an amber), very rich and thick with a super creamy mouth feel. this growler is all too easy to consume. although it is ’safe’ and it lacks some development in the flavor and aroma profiles i could have drank another!...6/3/6/4/14/3.3

A great beer with a superb taste. Looks like Nimbus Red and tastes about the same or slightly better.

This beer has a full reddish-copper color, is quite clear and is topped by a wispy, pale ring of a head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel being predominant, but there is also a bit of fruitiness that seems to be a combination of hops and yeast character. The taste has some of the caramel sweetness as well and there is a bit of hop flavor here (I get a sort of herbal / nectar thing) and only a touch of balancing bitterness in the finish. This has a nice clean fruitiness to it with notes of strawberry and a bit of tart cherry. This is a simple straight forward Amber Ale with just enough hop flavor to make it interesting.

Nice amber. Light, bright hop flavor balanced with maltyness. A very airy amber, but good nonetheless.

Nice, well-balanced, if lacking flavor a little bit. Very drinkable and smooth... had a bunch of these at Legends at the Omni in Tucson and could have had a bunch more.
