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.

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.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured a clear dark amber color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium sour citrus and sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate bittersweet flavor with an medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Better than my expectations.

12oz bottle, pours copper with barely any head. Aroma is slight hop with toasted malt. I’ve had this beer many times draft and bottle and it always has a slightly off taste. Soapy, slightly burnt, and sometimes even a little skunky.

12oz bottle. Dated 041409. Pours light copper color. Somewhat off soapy taste that didn’t agree with me. Something not quite right with this one.
