Can. Clear, copper amber color with a decent head. Aroma is a tad weak with a fruity pine smell. Taste was also weak, a citrus kind of taste. Just an average brew.

Can at Stoic & Genuine in downtown Denver. Poured a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was heavy on the caramel malts, herbal and earthy. Malty with some light sweetness. Mild bitterness.

12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy reddish orange color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big lemon, tangerine, blackberry, strawberry, mango, melon, red grape, pepper, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate dark/bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big lemon, tangerine, blackberry, strawberry, mango, melon, red grape, pepper, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate amount of piney/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, tangerine, berry, mango, melon, pepper, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderate creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice amber ale. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Sampled from the can at ABR 2015. Pours a slightly hazy amber gold with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of grain, bread, light grass and a hint of light fruits. Flavor has notes of grain and bread with a bit of earthiness supporting.

Can. A- Blackberry, butter, pine, toast. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Blackberries, pine, slightly bitter, malty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly bitter finish. O- Sure, it’s an amber ale, but it’s an amber ale with a bit of character! The pine adds a nice bitterness to it but not over done, then you get the blackberries, or maybe not that but some nice fruity nose and palate that is very subtle yet pleasing. Also a random bit of butter to it. And it worked well. Not bad, not bad at all.

Canned @ home picked up at Wilbur’s Foco. Pours a clear, dark reddish orange appearance with a cream colored head. Fairly grapefruity, citrusy, a touch nutty, caramel/toasty malty aroma that pretty nice. A touch fruity, fairly dull and bitter hoppy, caramel, somewhat toasty malty flavor with a bland bitterness on the finish. The aromatic hops seemed quite nice but the hops were just dull and bitter in the flavor.
