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.

Bottled date 043009. Poured orange with a thin off-white head. Aromas of grain, light spice, and a caramel backing. The flavor found grain and light malts. Light to medium body, sweet, and a light spiced aftertaste.

Bottle. Pour is deep golden with a little amber color but not much. Aroma is of light citrus hops. It is quite smooth and nice on the palate with flavors of bread, light caramel malt, light honey, and a smooth bitterness. Well blended brew that is nice to drink but not really an amber. Who am I, though, to downgrade for creativity?

Pours a clear copper body and a beige head with some lace. Aromas of malt and grapefruit. Malt sweetness, grapefruit, and floral flavor. Hint of dryness.

Sampled at the 8th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival. Pours clear amber with a frothy white head. Aroma isd mild citrus and caramel. Taste is the same, not overwhelming but balanced. Creamy carbonation and a light crsip finish. Very easy to drink.

Pours gold with a fairly lasting white head. Aroma is sweet with bready malts. Flavor is quite the same. Some bitter hops present, but they’ve not that noticable. Pleasant enough to drink, with nothing really wrong with it, but it’s a bit boring and lacks much complexity.

Nothing special here. Looks nice enough, not offensive in any way. A little too overly-sugary sweet.

Six pack from the grocery store. I don’t really remember it and have no notes other than a number score.
