Commercial Description:
A creamy, flavorful Amber that's smooth and easy to drink. Drop Top is fermented by an American Ale yeast to produce beer with a clean flavor and fruity aroma. The velvet texture is from the use of Honey malt and a touch of milk sugar. The Magnum bittering hops provide soft bitterness, while Simcoe, a newly developed hop variety, adds unique hop flavor and aroma.

A really decent amber despite it not having much carbonation or head. Drinks easy with a definate citrus (orange?) taste that is not overpowering. I think a nice neer and like it’s name infers, something that really would be good in the summer.

Insanely popular among a certain group of my friends for god only knows what reason. Very low in carbonation which I like, but the flavor seems off though I do detect some caramel. Just not a terribly enjoyable brew.

Definitely nice that I can get this on tap even in the worst dive bars...it’s become one of the decent choices when you’re out in ’non-beer geek’ locations. Thank you Widmer for infiltration this one everywhere. Nice easy drinking somewhat sweet and caramel tasting beer. Not your ’extreme’ or ’DAMN’ kind of beers, but a nice brew to drink when you just want to have a beer.

Bottled. Actually better than expected. Pours a darker brown colour with a medium white head. Sweet aroma with some caramel. Very creamy mouthfeel that has a little candy sugar and some honey. Just a touch of hop in the finish.

Bottle. Pours light clear amber with a 2 finger white head and great lacing. Nose is fruity hops and caramel. Taste is sweet citrus, biscuits with honey with a strange aftertaste. Medium, fairly flat mouth feel. Meh, average.

Bottle. Clear, dark golden pour with very little head. Light aroma of caramel malt, but not much else. Flavor fairly bland as well. Not offensive, just pretty boring.
