12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Listed as 5.2%. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium orange/amber/light copper color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, apple, caramel, toasted bread, light pepper/pine, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of citrus/earthy hops, bready malt, and fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, apple, caramel, toasted bread, light pepper/pine, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, apple, caramel, toasted bread, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance citrus/earthy hops, bready malt, and fruit yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness/carbonation as well. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderate crisp, and creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a nice English Amber ale. All around good robustness and balance citrus/earthy hops, bready malt, and fruit yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. I was originally expecting a standard American amber ale, but the addition of the English yeast was really well balanced with the flavor profile. A nicely enjoyable offering.

From a can nice pour, like virtually darker pale near brown orange er sumthin. Nice big foaming head, careful, don't overflow! Decent see thru lacing. Smell is candy laced yeasty thang. Wew, such a taste bud impact, makes me think this light beer is 7%, wew. Yes, quite a personality. Borders on annoying to my lager lovin taste buds. Yes, big beer flavors in a little beer. Even quite medicinal bordering on cloying. No, seriously, this has got to be a strong ale. JMHO. Some really good creamy co2 on the palate makes this come across more refreshing than what it is. Difficult. I must be getting senile. I normally like light abv beers but this is so loud. Certainly not too clean! heheh. If you like bold amber ales you need to try this.

Sample at the Brews Cafe "Spring Forward" beer festival on 03/09/2013: Clear pale amber pour with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, hops and caramel. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, earthy hops and grain. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
