The amber you’ve always wanted. Crisp and clean, but full of flavor: milk caramel, toasted biscuit and sweet wheat. A medium-bodied brew that has character yet remains and all-game drinker that always satisfies, never disappoints, and plays well with many types of foods.

Really good amber. Aroma’s mild. Flavor’s so good, very close to the way I like it- a touch roasty in the finish.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy earthy amber with a gray head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has lots of sweet grain and cookie with a light earthy bread note underlying. Flavor has sweet grains and graham cracker with a touch if bread underlying.

Tap at Sidedoor. Amber-brown body, filtered. Respectable creamy off-white head. Amber malt, toffee, caramel. Not so far removed from a Brown Ale. Sweet toffee tones. OK.

Sample at the brewpub. Clear dark amber color with a medium light beige head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, caramel and slight hops. Light body with flavors of bready malt, caramel and earthy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
