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.

Bottled (bottle says Aug2906).
Clear amber color and quickly vanishing white head. Honey, grapefruit, lemony hops in the nose - not very common aroma. Palate is quite weak. Light bready malty with flavors of honey. Sweetish finish with tiny hoppy punch in the aftertaste. Interesting different Amber ale.
