This hoppy sweet amber was the original ale brewed at the first Lagunitas brewery in West Marin. The original, actually, was a fair example of 'Odious Ale-ism'. Sometimes it was wonderful, sometimes it took the enamel off your teeth. Well, we are better brewers now, and it has become a tasty Cal State Fair award winner!

Draught at Alioto’s, San Francisco (as Alioto’s Private Ale). Amber colour, clear, small head. Perfumy and lightly roasty. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Medium bitterness. A drinkable and well balanced beer, perhaps with overly simple malt character.

Bottle: Amber color is perfect with a fluffy tanned head and solid lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt, sweetness, and hops. Taste is a rich maltiness, caramel, brown sugars, even a little fruitiness, and some light hops. Not overly hopped, thats for sure, but very solid flavor throughout. I was pleasantly impressed with this amber ale.

Dark reddish-brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel and hints of smoke and roasted malt. Flavor of roasted malt, some light fruit, toffee, and a bit more smoke.

A hazy pale amber beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is lightly grassy, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as hints of grass and fruit, and with prunes in the aftertaste. I had expected more.

Very dark amber; aroma of wood, dates, apples, tobacco; slightly creamy; fresh earthiness, hops, dates, oranges; refreshingly hoppy finish.
