We're harking back to the earlier days of craft beer with an American Amber ale that's finely balanced between hoppy, bitter and malty sweet. It glows with a reddish, tawny hue thanks to a complex eight malt base that kindles notes of crisp toast, light caramel and rye spice. Moderate additions of Columbus, Centennial and Cascade in the boil, and a delicate Cascade dry-hop for good measure, flicker with citrus, earth and herbal pine.

Thanks fonefan! Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is toasted, some mild wooden and a bit resin and some herbal tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma, but also has some sweet malts and mild toasted (wooden) tones.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy ruby body with a thin beige head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of burnt sugar and toffee. Flavour of pine, toffee and hard candy. Medium to full body with a texture. Soft fizz. Rich and hoppy, a delicious beer. I wish this style of beer was more prominent.
