Can. So when I poured the beer, I thought this one might have some potential. Nope. It was another weak beer from this brewery.

Fair. Amber color, touches of caramel malt and faint grassy hopping, a bit buttery, or butterscotch. Easy drinking.

Sample at the Beer/Port/Mead/Homebrew Tasting on 07/20/2017. Clear copper-amber color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lace. Musty malt, fruit and caramel aroma. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, cardboard and a bit of fruity hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Below average overall.

Somehow worse than After Party, somehow as horrendous as a fake craft amber ale brewed with honey can be. Metallic, fake-toffee malts meet a cloying, focus group-tested honey sweetness, resulting in a concoction even your drain might reject. Jesus, how much worse can this mixed-twelver get?

Can during the β16 Salmon River trip. Amber color, but mild aroma and taste. Very muted. The color is about all that suggests amber ale. Pale malt and some sweetness, a little grassy hop. Really bland.

Can. A- Bland, bready, malty. A- Amber color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Malty, subtle caramel, bready, slightly sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, boring finish. O- Not offensive by any means but an otherwise boring and bland amber. Nothing special.

Can from Walhole. Pours dark golden to a light amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, light honey, light autumn leaves. Flavor is slightly sweet tea, caramel malts, then more sweetness. Tastes like added sugar.

Can. Lactic nutty toffee malt and metallic straw aroma. Golden yellow with large white head. Lightly sweet nutty toffee malt and moderately bitter metallic grass flavor. Light body. Harsh.
