Canned. The ol hide the mass market lager trick. Foamy, a hint of malty sweetness but otherwise meh.

Bottle. Light amber color, decent head that disappears quickly. Taste weak, some grains, metallic aftertaste. Aroma toast, grains.

Bottle at the Inn in Natchez, MS. Pours clear honey-gold with a creamy, off-white head. The aroma is caramel, toasted biscuits, faint earth. Medium sweet flavour with notes of brown sugar, more toasty biscuits, grains, toffee. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet, sugary finish, with more toffee, caramel, bready malts. Quite simple and sugary overall, but not terrible.

Figured this would be a complete crafty scam, but this wasn’t too awful - perhaps slightly better than Coors’ regular offerings. Some malt, grassy notes, light earthy hops. Flavor contains sweet malt notes, some grass, touch of spiced hops - surprised. Not convinced that they actually drink this one when the day shift is over...

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a three finger white foamy head fills up and recedes gently leaving a decent amount of nice spider web lacing, small streams of light carbonation are seen rising.
The smell had some malts forward in a bland soapy way, no hops.
The taste was sweet through the malts (like a Vienna lager), nothing else noted.
On the palate, it sat about a light, slightly crisp, sessionable, soapy aftertaste, bland watery finish.
Overall, uh . . . bmc does a Vienna lager, good for them, its not bad, but its not spectacular, ok thanx, time to move on.

Sneaky bastards ( Coors), I would never have bought a six pack of this if I’d known who really brewed it! Anyway I actually quiet enjoyed the three 12oz bottles I had from that said six pack. Drank over a two day period while staying in Newport Beach during March 2014. The name Amber lager kind of gives the beers colour and base taste away without needing to guess much? It pours a pleasant amber with a full, if not too deep head. The semi sweet malts and mild floral hop notes in the aroma carry through to the taste. A sweeter caramel flavour arrives as the beer warms in the glass which in turn hides the hop content somewhat, but overall my sweet tooth liked this brew even though I thought it was brewed elsewhere ( as the label intimated).

12oz bottle from Georgio’s Liquors, Billerica, MA. Amber with a fast fading white head; the aroma has some orange fruit; the taste is predominantly caramel; with a sickly sweet finish. It may be amber, and it may be a lager, but it wouldn’t go down well in Vienna.
