May 24, 2005 Malty spice aroma and flavor. Amber body with thin head and some lacing. Was smooth easy drinking beer with a slight bitter aftertaste.

Mar 21, 2005 One of the better ambers that I’ve tried. Slightly bitter with a taste of fruit and caramel.

Mar 14, 2005 Well, it’s amber with a light off white head and some sparse lacing. Eh, it’s got a wet cardboardy smell to it, along with a touch of citrus and bitter hops. Slightly malty. The flavor has a bit of biscuit and caramel to it. There is a touch of fruity hops along with the bitter. A little touch of alcohol comes through. It is fairly thin and finishes with that wet cardboard flavor and some fruit.

Mar 13, 2005 Updated: Mar 16, 2005This is a very average amber ale pouring the standard color with a relatively nice head. The mouthfeel is thin with very subtle hints of caramel and grapefruit. The tastes are not up front - they trail.

Mar 2, 2005 I’m ticked. I picked up a sixpack of the W’05 and some bastid stuck one of these in there.
Full disclosure; I’m not a big Amber fan, but this is just crap.
Aroma isn’t typical, it smells more like a Macro like Bud than anything else. Appearance is like a darker Macro. Flavor is pretty much characterless with hints of corn, but no typical Amber sweetness. Palate is...well, you get the picture. Overall? HA! Widmer *can* make some good beers, however, with the very notable exception of the W’05, they don’t bottle anything worthwhile. I want my money back.

Jan 6, 2005 I first had this beer at a Widmer tailgate party at the U of Oregon spring football game, and I must say that I was impressed. It’s obviously not going to be a perfect ten, but for a tailgater, a BBQ, anytime with good, greasy food. A bit spendy, but Oregon beer has a reputation that allows the price.

Dec 2, 2004 Rarely does beer drinking leave me feeling bored. Somehow this did. Typical honey malt, a smoothness that was just unecessary - doing little more than causing the drinker to forget they were drinking at all. Normal aroma, usual appearance, generic flavor. Widmer has successfully created another bland beer. Congratulations.
