Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear orange-brown color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Faintly sweet malt and fruit aroma. Medium-bodied with bready malt and fruit flavors plus a hint of hops. The finish is mildly malty with notes of caramel and hops left over. Not bad, just not impressive on any front.

Bright amber with a decent head. Hints of caramel and light fruit on the nose. Low bitterness. Some toast, slightly spicy hop. Quick and easy.

tap at the brewpub - The aroma of this amber ale is surprisingly hoppy. The flavor adds caramel malt and moderate hops intensity, which is high for an amber. For me it works well. This medium bodied beer is better than the rating here suggests.
