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.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 7/27/09

Aroma: Roasted malts, some apple, not much else, decent nose
Appearance: Mildly Cloudy amber color, 1/4 inch white head, spotty lacing
Flavor: Light and boring as far as I’m concerned, wasn’t bad, just wasn’t a whole lot there
Palate: Not a ton of body, mediocre mouthfeel
Overall Impression: This was not very exciting. I’m not a huge fan, and this brewery seems to produce only mediocre (macro-style) stuff for mass production.

Sampled on draft at the Music City Brewers Festival. A sweet amber with vey fqaint xitrus notes and some nutty character in the fiinish. Cloying on the palate. Too sweet caramel for my taste. But not aweful.

Amber, clear, thin beige head. Grainy and sweet aroma, with a slight bitter edge. Crisp flavors up fron, with a note of caramel. Fairly crisp finish.

I’ve had this many times before, but I am just now rating it. This beer is bubbly and dark burnt orange color. There is not much of an aroma to speak of. The flavor is malty with caramel hints; very drinkable.

Beautiful orange gold with a thin white head and decent lacing. Aroma is caramel malts with floral and earthy hops. Flavor is bitter with a well rounded sweetness. Nice and clean. Palate is creamy, smooth and just plain perfect for this style. Overall just simply amazing; incredibly easy to drink with depth.
