Aug 3, 2009 12oz bottle. The bottle now states "Special Amber". Recipe change? Macro brewery malt aroma. Filtered orange-tan color. Frothy white head. Rather insipid amber malt taste, medium bodied and dirty. Mild soapy bitterness balances it out. A touch of crystal or dark malts gives it an inkling of decency, but overall this is sub par swill.

Jun 22, 2008 Amber with off-white head. Aroma of caramel and sweet malts. Taste of caramel, sweet malts with a mild bitter finish. Not as good as Capital amber though that’s classified as a Vienna and this an American Dark Lager. Decent but not great.

Mar 27, 2008 thanks to skyview for sharing. Dark copper color with a sweet malty aroma. Faintly nutty but an off finish.

Mar 22, 2008 Virtually no head. Lightly reddish brown in color. Thin on the palate, and goes down easy. The taste is overall pretty ordinary and bland, with no genuine hop presence. Nothing special.
If you’re in Middleton looking for an amber, you’re better off with the Wisconsin Amber from Capital Brewery.

Jan 13, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color. Head was two fingers high and off white with decent retention. Aroma was of husky, syrupy grain with a little molasses. Slightly sweet with minimal hop bitterness of about 1 out of 10. The flavor was predominantly cereal grain with a some mushy raisin and subdued grassy hops. Bland and unoffensive, yes. Bad, not quite.

Dec 21, 2007 Not very good. Plain dry malt. Thin body, and unprocessed grain flavor. No hop presence. Light red color.

Dec 20, 2007 Another one from Skyview. Dark copper color with no head. Slight aroma of sweet malt. Very dry and dusty malt taste. Simple and unoffensive.

Nov 25, 2007 Picked up single 12-oz bottle at Brennan’s Country Farm Market in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear light amber brew with a fast dissolving creamy white head that has some good lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt, some toffee, light apple, and flowery hops. Taste is light to medium bodied, light carbonation with some light caramel malt, light fruity and a touch of apple peel. Finish is semi-sweet with a light apple bread aftertaste. A drinkable brew but nothing spectacular.
