Poured from tap at BBC Danvers for Willrunforbeer bachelor party. Nice amber pour with a one finger off white head. Aromas of toffee and hops with nice floral notes. Taste is crisp and has a nice balance with a lingering hop feel.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass because, well, it is an Amber, so I should treat it as well.
The appearance was a slight hazy amber to bronzed over sort of hazy and a light transparent color to it. A slim finger’s worth of white foamy head started and dissipated evenly at a nice pace.
The smell started off with a nice even spicy (herbal/earthy and deep) with a fairly nice earthy to semi-sweet and dry bitter malt-like background.
The taste was moderately earthy sweet. Bitterness rides into the malt, almost roasty with a slight nuttiness. There’s a fairly nice nutty to sweet aftertaste that leads into the finish.
On the palate, this one will be fairly sessionable. It rides a smooth nuttiness rolling over my tongue.
Overall, as an American Amber ale, it works. Sorry for not uploading earlier.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 8/15/2015. Pours fairly crystal clear reddish copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pepper, light pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of piney/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine/earthy hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Some hop bitterness does linger after the finish, but never becomes astringent. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and lightly creamy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice hoppy red ale style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of citrus/pine/earthy hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle: Pours deep copper, clear, with a frothy, lacy, light tan head. Caramel, pine, bread-heel aroma. Taste is a very dry, caramel malt, herbal hops, dried leaves.... Earthy, slightly peppery malt....woody.... Sort of an Amber/APA/Brown Ale hybrid..... Not bad.
