Draft in Minneapolis Airport brewpub. Mostly clear dark Amber color, weak legs of lacing. Aroma is light herbal and citrus hops. Amber ales almost never get me excited. This is no exception. Base of the beer is caramel malts. Hops come in with light citrus and notes of earth herbalness. Body is thin with a very light bitterness. Way to.much caramel without enough hop punch. It is brewed for the masses and it shows.

Tap at the Chicago location - lame, watery-ass amber - weak malt texture and very little flavor aside from some pumpernickel and subdued, earthy hoppiness - a bit of acidity, an almost sour note - even for an American amber it is pretty sub-par.

A copper red ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, sweet nutty caramel malt with light grassy hops. In mouth, a sweet fruity caramel malt with light cloying sweetness, light bodied, boring. On tap at RB Chicago.

Draft. From notes. Caramel malt with some slight hop bitterness. Drinkable, but nothing super special.
