Your basic amber beer, with an amber color at pour and mild bitterness. Very similar to Michelob Amber if that means anything.

Sampled at the brewpub. Pours a lighter golden shade of amber with a thin white lace. Malty and bitter nose...bitter without the aroma of fresh hops. Good chewy malts with some more bitterness in the finish. Meh.

On tap at the pub. Good one. Crisp and mildly bitter. A great session beer. Session beer. Ha.

Appearance: Clear, amber body with a small, white head. Smell: Mild malt presence with some light earthy hop hints and that’s all! Taste: Amber malt flavor with a drizzle of caramel sweetness. Light peach and apricot fruitiness. Very mild, earthy bitterness. Sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: For an amber it’s alright and easily drinkable.

They are calling this an amber now. On tap at the brewpub. Nice copper color. Decent offwhite head. OK malt profile. Some bitter hoppiness in there. Decent session beer but could use a little more character. Throw some more malt in there to give this a little more backbone and some more hops to get a little more finishing flavor.
