Bottle. Copper color, beige head. Not much aroma. No overly strong flavors, but malt backing to a bit of spicy earthiness.

Tap. Very light/soft orange hues. Small white head, mostly dissipating. Smallest bit of bittersweet aroma. Begins light and very soft textured. Flavors of a little bit of mild hops, a touch of orange/honey flavor and then. . Water. This beer was surprisingly extremely tasteless, but not bad tasting at least.

Bleh. Almost golden-colored, clear, thin body. Aroma is lightly sweet, and the flavor is sweet, a little bit sharp, with bittering notes. Way too thin, though. Pretty boring beer.

Blonde golden in colour with a white head. The aroma is pretty malty but otherwise somewhat mild. The taste was somewhat mild and not too hoppy. A decent beer, but not too great for the style. I had this beer on tap at the Ramada Inn (BWI Location).

Poured amber. Lots of carbonation. Head didn't last long. A little sour. Tasted more like a lager than an ale. --- Beer merged from original tick of John Courage Amber on 03 Aug 2018 at 13:56 - Score: 4

Rather bitter Amber Ale. I had this out of a bottle and was not really impressed. It had some hops flavor and acrid aftertaste. Other than that I really did not find much that warrants calling this an Amber, malt was especially weak. It was more Lager-ish than anything.

Yea, edgeworth_m, you and I are on the same track on this one, although I thought it tasted more like a bad bottle of Molson - and from an amber ale no less. Pale brown color, bland vaguely skunky flavor (brown bottle, too).
