Clear amber body, thin off-white head. Tangy, almost sour body with little going on; I pick up some nutty flavors, a hint of fruit and maybe a bit of toast but not much else. Has a slight hops bitterness that persists through the sip. This is pretty dull.

This amber beer had very little head. The aroma was malty with some fruit and no hops, but somewhat weak. The flavor was slightly sweet, but unremarkable. Nothing special going on here.

Thanks to Darkover for the trade. This brew is a clear amber-orange color with a medium thin and quickly dissipating off-white head. Thin and quick lacing. Mild aroma of hops. Medium-bodied and rather smooth with a tempered hops and malt flavor. The finish is smooth and lightly malty. As an Amber ale this falls a little short but it is a fair session ale thanks to the smoothness.

Amber in colour with a decently thick dense off-white head. Strong aroma of caramel and pit fruits with a nice alcoholic sweetness-if smelt blindly, it smells like a barley wine! Medium-bodied; Watery taste showing a bit of the sweetness and malt background in the taste, but not much. A bit of the sweetness is tasted resulting in a caramely taste, but really its fairly bland. Aftertaste only showcases some of the malt, and a hint of spiceyness. Overall, a nice looking and smelling beer, but the taste actually is fairly mild and not showing too much. Perhaps a bit more enjoyable than their 'IPA', but its fairly close in not-great beer-standards :-). I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Wonderful bitter hop taste that plays on the palate and warms the mouth. Finishes crisp, maybe a bit too watery. must try again.

Dark yellowish color, big sturdy white head. Nice yet mild almost floral hop aroma. Flavor mildly sweet and somewhat fruity in an Englishy way, with American hop flavors, and medium bitterness. Easy drinking.
