Rated from old notes. An easy going amber ale with a pleasant if non-distinctive taste. Poured with a foamy head that rapidly dissipated. Hints of malts, but for the most part rather bland. Best had with food.

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Slight hazy amber color with a big soapy head. Strong burnt caramel malt aromas with a touch of pepper and honey. Bitter on the palate and not very well-balanced. Leans toward the bitter side. Malts are there but seem burned and astringent. Finish is bitter and astringent.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a decent amber/red color with a slight transparency to it. The head was about a finger’s worth of white foaminess that dissipated within less than a minute.
The smell had some crisp caramel malts coming through in a slightly dry sort of way.
The taste was fairly sweet through the malts.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light and had a fairly good sessionability about it.
Overall, this was a decent Amber ale as its nothing to go bonkers about.

Bottle from WIne Source, Baltimore. Amber with a big, frothy, off-white head. Peaches and tangerines aroma, with a touch of floral hops. Solid, sweetish malt flavours, with more fruit and a dryish finish. Ok.

Bottle. Stale malty aroma. Hazy orange amber with a large beige head. Burnt toast and sugar flavor with a light bitter hop finish. Light to medium body. Not particularly bad, but not especially enjoyable either.

Draught at Devil Craft. Fruity, metallic nose, hoppy, light citrus. Cherry and metal flavors, light citrus, light caramel, and an interesting fruity gumball aspect. Rather German in malt flavors. Decent.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a cloudy light amber with about 3 fingers of frothy head. Aroma of caramel, citrus and a little dark nut. Taste is light bitter. Citrus, caramel and nutty flavors. Medium bodied with a somewhat slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, very good. I would gladly drink this one again.
