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.

It’s an entirely ’meh’ beer, but a solid one. A hint of cherry and malts, which is very nice once warmed up a little.

~Pours a clear amber with creamy off white head. ~Citrusy malt scent along with some other kind of berry. ~Smooth citrus malt taste. ~Medium creamy feel. Smooth. Slightly bitter citrus in finish. ~I am fairly surprised with this brew. Enjoyable. Good session brew.

12oz Bottle. For a sessionable amber it’s not too bad. Creamy texture with inoffensive aromas an flavors. Finish lingers on the palate for a long while.

i wasnt impressed on first taste but this ale ages well just in the glass. malt flavors with touch of genuine dark cherry the flowery hop profile comes thru after a few minutes and is surprising. old and respectfully so this beer turns out to be smooth brown tasting (GRAVYMASTER) and SLIGHTLY SWEET. not bad

This amber ale poured with a fluffy off-white head and a floral aroma. The caramel malt flavor is a bit sweet with some subtle hopping at the finish.

Bottle. Pours a golden amber with a decent white head. Taste is of malt, caramel, honey, some hops and some citrus. Light bitterness. Similar aroma. Creamy/buttery body. Easy to drink, refreshing and rather enjoyable.
