Nice crisp amber coloured (surprising, huh?) body with a thin tan head. Aroma of bright hops, grapes, caster sugar, malt and a touch of nuts. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavours with caramel and nuts very strong and a hoppy finish. Aftertaste shows a resiny hop finish and a strong malt and caramel end. Overall, a good beer - better than most Ambers, but still showing some off-flavours and not such a great finish. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 14-July-2010 sampled at home in Washington on 18-September-2010.

out of can...A nice clear light mahogany witha rather dark tan head. Subtle sweet malty aroma, with a touch of woodiness and some light spices. Flavor is woody and malty. Very plain, but a session beer that doesn’t fight to be noticed. Ambers and not usually very exciting but this is well done and with just enough flavor to keep you picking up the glass. Appropriately low on the bitterness, rather softly carbonated and a slightly astringent trailer. Not bad.

Tasting at Papsø, can
Hazy light amber color. Good amount of hops in the nose, and biscuity darker malts. Sweetish caramel flavor, with a biscuity touch, and good bitterness. The final is a bit puckery. Good anyway, straight American Amber.

Can. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of spices, malt, hops, and some straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and hops, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is light.

Can. 35,5 cl. Pours a hazy amber with an off-white head. Classic US nose, a little perfumy hops and some caramel. Medium body, caramel and overripe fruit with perfumy hops. Subdued bitterness though. 030410

Can thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours with a white head that fades over and amber orange body. Aroma has a lot of caramel, a bit of tea and faded hops. Taste is caramel, sweet (too much crystal), tea and a hint of berries. Creamy carbonation.

Sample from a can at the "Portland? Psh More Like Beerland" tasting on 03/10/10. This brew is a clear amber-orange color with a thin off-white head that recedes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma is malty and has a moderate hops presence too. Medium body with a roasted malt character and floral hops and citrus flavors. The finish is sweet and malty and lingers a bit. Decent overall.
