Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy dark amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Subtle stringy lace.
The aroma had a nice blend of soft sweet caramel/toffee malts to a citrusy and piney hoppiness.
The flavor blended fairly nice - the sweet to the bitter and pushed in a little bit of nuts and light toast. Aftertaste was semi-sweet with a firm bitterness to slide into the finish nicely.
The feel was roughly medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation about it. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, another nicely done beer by Collective Arts, these guys are doing a good job with pretty much everything I’ve had.

Amber color, hazy. The earthy malts and caramel, quite dry, are well complemented by resinous hops.
Nicely made.

Forge + Fire Amber Ale tap at the brewery in Hamilton. Beautiful clear Amber read with a beige head. Piney rye type malt aroma. The taste is earthy bitter pine. A crisp beer. 3.4

Can from RCSS. Very cloudy dark amber with a small short lived tan head. Nose has Some moderate grain under a definite Citra mix of citrus, melon, lime, grapefruit and some stone fruit. Flavour has a lightly sweet toffee base with some spice under a moderate (and surprising for an amber) citrus bitterness. Mouth is medium- and slightly sticky with average- carbonation and a short dry finish. Quite drinkable. 8/3/7+/3+/14
