12oz bottle from a generous trader poured into a shaker. New state tick! Pours a dark slightly cloudy amber with a half finger of off white head. Aroma is mostly caramel with a slight pine and citrus presence. Taste is light bitter. Caramel malt dominated with just a slight bit of pine. Full vodied with a creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. Kinda one dimensional but drinkable.

Location: 12 oz bottle at Husk, 12/7/12
Aroma: The nose is fairly malty, with caramel, a little spice, and some earthy notes too
Appearance: It pours a clear bright red color with a small beige head and medium lace
Flavor: The flavor has a nice, not overpowering, sweetness and some balancing hop bitterness too
Palate: The body of this beer is medium, it is plenty drinkable, and has a clean, soft mouthfeel
Overall Impression: This is some solid stuff for sure. Nothing to go out of your way for, but it is plenty drinkable, and a solid example of the style.

Lightly malty aroma with a nice layer of grass hops. Tingly mouthfeel. Flavor has lightly sweet toasted malts and earthy, floral hops. Lightly zesty finish. Easy going, refreshing, tasty.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a cloudy amber with a white head. Sweet grassy aroma. Hints of caramel but overall thin flavored. Bitter finish.
On draft at Spacebar. Pours clear. Seems fuller flavored than the bottled version.

Bottle. Pours clear deep amber with a small off-white head with some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with a bit of citrus. Flavor is somewhat sweet malty with caramel, citrus and pine flavors and a mildly bitter finish.

12oz bottle pours a translucent, copper amber with some frothy white head. Nose has plenty of malt, biscuit, cracker, a little lemon, some light pear, earthy. Flavor is very malt forward, crackermeal, biscotti, almonds, light caramel, a little red grape. Medium bodied, dry, malty finish. As far as amber ales go... this is a pretty good one.
