(10/18/07, 12oz bottle, thanks Dickinsonbeer) Clear amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bread. Taste is medium sweet, bread, faint earthy. Incredibly bland.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium orangish color with a large sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus, and toasted malts. Tastes follow suit with some graininess Somewhat boring.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy tan head and copper color. Aroma is medium/light malt-some sweetness. Taste is medium/light malt-some sweetness, secondary hops bitterness. Mild, nice. Mild carbonation.

Bottle sampled on 7/2/06: Pours a clear light bronze golden with a nicely-lacing off-white head. Aroma has a dry, toasty grainy presence. Body starts with a touch of strange chemical off-flavor hoppiness and bland, dry caramel malt. Somewhat drinkable brew, but rather dull and slightly off.

A basic amber ale with some caramel, rosey hints, toasty hints and an earthy finish. Decent for what it is.

From a twelve-ounce bottle. There’s nothing on the bottle that indicates style, so I drank it blind, basically... and my guess was ’amber ale’. It made me yawn. Some usual maple and molasses flavors from the malt, really like malt extract syrup, and some mild biscuit malt flavors as well. Nose was pretty much the same. Nothing exciting, but at least it was drinkable. Don’t really have much else to say, just that this is a normal, average, ho-hum ’amber ale’.

Bottle. Clear copper with minimal off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt, slight hops and tannins, with a bit of fruit. Tastes primarily caramel malty, with mid-palate hops and some backup fruitiness.
