This ridiculously tasty Amber Ale is a Northwest classic and our flagship brew. Don’t just take our word for it - Full Sail Amber has brought home 28 gold medals. Not that we’re counting or anything. Malty sweet, medium-bodied with a reddish amber hue and a spicy floral hop finish, this is one great-tasting beer. We’re as proud of it today as we were back in ’89.

Bottle. Pours with a small fading off-white head over a brown (auburn, not really amber) body. Aroma of biscuit, nuts, dirt, caramel and hops. Taste is caramel, nuts hops and light diacetyl. Thinnish mouthfeel that feels slightly slick on the tongue. Light carbonation.

Permanent hair treatment aroma. A middling dark beer. Tolerable flavor with processed hops and malt. 5.5% is certainly apparent. The carbonation is at least detectable, tho hard to come by. Typical amber IMHO, not as good as Rock Bottom North Star Amber Ale.

Pours a clear amber-orange color with a medium off-white head with decent staying power. Thin rings of lacing. The aroma is evenly hoppy and malty. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with subtle malt undertones. Some tart fruit and caramel flavors as well. The finish is somewhat hoppy with touches of caramel malt and fruit in the aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a nice foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of caramel malt is about medium with some dry hops also noticeable. Taste is also dominated by some caramel malt as well as some dry hops. Body is above average with some good carbonation. Not bad but nothing extraordinary either.

Nice amber color. Aroma of caramel and sugar floss. Very dry caramel taste, a bit metallic, with reasonable strong ending bitterness. Too simple.
