Draft at the brewpub. Pours mostly clear amber with a creamy topping. Bland aroma, just a few leaves and lightly toasted grains. Light sweet flavour, very bitter, with a quite odd fruit syrup note, some burnt caramel, harsh grassy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Astringent and harshly bitter on the finish. Hard to drink.

Keg at the brewpub, 01/02/16. Yay - a brewpub amber ! Reddish amber with a decent light beige cap. Nose is pretty thin ... light fruit esters, caramel, grain. Taste comprises sweet malts, toffee, candied fruit notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. The blandometer is pretty high with this one!

Draught at Downtown Joeβs Napa. Almost clear deep amber liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus, pine, toffee and raw sugar. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with notes of citrus, caramel and toast. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Meh. Very bland. Not too offensive.

Draft a the the brewpub. Mid amber coloured pour with a lasting greyish loose head. Aroma is tangy tart red berry., nutty malts solvent. Flavour is composed of dirty toast, nutty malts, red berry, bitter, dirty hop. Bland and terrible. Palate is dry and chalky, grainy, highish spritzy. Aggressively bitter and dirty. Dirty.

Pours dark amber with an off-white head. Aroma of roast caramel. Medium body with strong, foamy carbonation. Flavor is roast malt, and it is quite spicy. Much hoppier than your average amber. Quite good for an amber.

Draft. Rich amber color with an off-white head. Nutty malt flavor with some roastiness and caramel. Light nutty aroma. Some hops balancing. Nice malt complexity. Clean finish.
