Rich, amber hue and full-bodied flavor begin with roasted, domestic caramel malt. It’s sweetness is then tempered with genuine Cascade hops, which are added again at the end of the boil for a distinctive, citric-floral aroma.

Bottle thanks to Swalden28. Pours with a hazy golden body and a off-white film for a head. Aroma is of caramel, and a hint of berries. Taste is watery with some fruit, caramel, and a faint hint of hops. Watery mouthfeel with light bubbles.

355 ml bottle as MacTarnahans Amber Ale. Amber body with a relatively small off-white head. Moderate aroma of sweet malt and citrus. Flavor is quite typical American amber, maybe with some more caramel impression. Not to impressive, but not bad at all. Quaffable.

bottle - Pours light amber with a mild hops aroma. The flavor is of caramel malt and mild to moderate hops. It has a lingering bitter finish. This beer isn’t bad for a session brew, but it’s not very crisp or interesting either.

Attractive darker than pale yellow color, just barely. Thin froth head also barely there. Has a perfumy orangy aroma of sorts. Malty and seems to have more alky than is listed here. Nice creamy welcomed carbonation. Thick and coats the mouth. Has some hop medicinal bitterness on the finish that hangs for a while.

Cloudy reddish amber with a thin off white head, nice lacing.. Bread, toast, dandelion, orange bouquet. Exquisite aroma! Less complex floral taste, but still very good. Orange and grapefruit notes. NIce hop finish. Outstanding!

Bottle. Wonderful looking beer. Poured copper with a thick white head. Much lacing. Citrusy aroma. Mild body with a distinct hoppiness. Edge of tongue finish that lingered. This got better as it warmed.

Draft, at Pyramid, Sacramento. Light aroma of fruity hop. Clear amber color with a white head. Medium body, but it quickly thins. Starts with arguably citrus hop, malt comes forth. Seems well balanced. Light bitter finish. Good experience.
