Hop heads and Bud drinkers will hate it. Amber/Red type, sweet but not sissy. Balanced, rich, smooth. Not too strong. Bread-like. Good year round, so stash a case.

Nice malt backbone, good full aroma. Not too much hops. I really liked this.

Re-rate on tap at Wachusett mountain: This stuff was actually good. Has a nice malted flavor with a slihtly bitter finish. Overall very good on tap, but horrible in the bottle. Old rating 6/10/2002: Has a nice red/orange color and malted smell. Taste is just nasty and also finished a bit sour. Overall I would rather have a PBR.

Bottle... Quinn’s Amber Ale?... Clear, deep amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Notes of caramel and light milk chocolate in the nose. Sweet, rich, malty flavor. Hopped sparingly... just right for the style. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Leaves a lightly sweet coating on the palate. Grassy at the wee end. I really enjoyed this brew... looks like I’m one of the few. Thanks to growler for the bottle!

Out of the bottle, it pours mid amber with a thin head. Aroma is a bit sweet with the hops coming through, somewhat fruity. The moutfeel offers a fruit flavor somewhat like citrus as the hops shows itself agasin and tails of with light bitterness....a very well crafted beer!
