Location: 12 oz bottle from Trader Joe’s, 11/18/12
Aroma: The nose is heavy on caramel, rather malty, and has some lighter earthy notes
Appearance: This one pours an amber color with a small beige head, and some light lace
Flavor: This one has a kind of unpleasant taste of macro-lager, caramel, and other of flavors
Palate: The body is medium, it feels a little too sticky, and almost cloying, with a pretty lively carbonation
Overall Impression: I wasn’t a huge fan of this beer. The flavor just doesn’t work all that well in my opinion, and the quality is not really that high. Really not a winner in my opinion.

Draft at Yardhouse Virginia beach. No aroma. Crystal clear copper, medium yellow head. Weak notes of dried leaves. Generic bitterness afterwards, no personality. Less flavor than even Killians. Hard to believe the same fine brewery that produces Union Jack and Cal Pale 31 makes this swill. Sad.

From Trader Joes. The bottle only cost about $.90, and it is from a good brewery. ordinary enough amber lager, with mild malt. No complaints, but it is a style that just has nowhere to go. Thin palate.

Bottle @ home. I have absolutely no clue where I got this beer. Dark amber appearance with a light tan head. Kind of a dull, hardened caramel, slightly sweet aroma. Lightly piney, somewhat bitter, dull caramel malty, light toffee flavor. Pretty boring.

On tap at Barney’s Beanary as Barney’s Amber Ale from Firestone. Long lasting off-white head over a clear amber body. Aroma of honey and light hop. Taste is malt tea, caramel, floral hops. Smooth, slightly undercarbonated mouthfeel.

12oz bottle brewed in New Ulm. Filtered orange-amber color. Head fades out into an oily layer. Mild clean vanilla-amber malt aromas. The taste is similar, with a simple toasty amber malt center. Maybe some light vanilla tones, as well as a mild, sticky bitterness in the aftertaste. A touch underwhelming, an awkward light-medium body. Pretty simple, straightforward, and inoffensive.
