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.

Really pretty boring amber. Sweet honey-like malt, weak floral hops. nothing about this beer really shines.

Bottle. Pours an amber color with small white head that lasts awhile. this has a lot of carbonation. had a very hoppy aroma with a typical amber taste. easy to drink for a session beer.

A sweet caramel aroma with some crisp hoppiness. Flavor is more sweetness followed by some pleasant mild bitterness. I also get some vanilla. For some reason I have always thought this beer tasted like OE. Maybe it is the sweetness. This amber ale is also very easy to drink, as I put down a pitcher and proceeded to go home and function properly. It is ok. Better than MBC, but something just doesnt do it for me here.

A decent amber ale that pours a nice amber color with a smaller head. Sweeter than most ambers. Had this on tap in Vegas and tasted real good. Poured a nice amber color with a hoppy scent and nice head. Sweet and hoppy beer for an Amber.

This beer pours amber with a small tan head. O.k.. this was a decent amber compared to the domestics, but not much more than that. Very nutty malty flavor characteristic of the American ambers, maybe a little more on the hoppy side though. I would drink this beer again but would prefer something else. Cheers!

Bottle. Pours solid amber with a nice ivory head that leaves a stong layer of lacing around the glass. Peachy grapefruit aroma. Flavor is pineapple pear. Watery mouthfeel. Tastes more like cheap pineapple candy than a beer.

Draught > Spirit Grill. Clear light amber. No head, no aroma & no lacing. Not sweet and not bitter. Not much body. Bascially, this beer doesn’t have shit. Oh wait, it’s not offensive so I guess I could put many of these away as an alternative to BMC, assuming they’re my only other choices.

Pours like a new copper penny w/ minimal residual lacing. Froth comes up about a finger high then reduces quite fast. Aroma of crameled malts, biscuits, and burnt rubber. Medium nectar w/ mellow residual effers. Malty w/ a mild sweetness. Very little bittering. Nuances of caramel, hay, biscuits, and burnt rubber. Finish is only slightly bittered. Last thoughts: Not sure about the burnt rubber thing. It did seem to go awayafter she warmed. I can’t say I enjoyed it.
