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.

Bottled. An amber beer with a slight haze under a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, but also light hoppy notes. The flavor is malty with notes of cardboard, caramel, and dusty hops, leading to a dry end. The body is thin.

On tap at Pilsner Room, Portland. Chestnut with beige head. Nice dry/fruity malt aroma. Some good hop on end. Nicely balanced. More like an English ESB. Some dryness on end. Nice, drinkable.

Bottled. Ruby red color, not much head. Hoppy, nutty aroma. Slightly sweet, but bready hoppy. Pale but balanced and malty.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a pretty, clear, dark amber with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Medium-bodied some slightly sweet caramel accents nicely balanced by the lovely aroma hops that don’t add much bitterness. This really is an amber to my taste. 020406

Deep amber color pour with a nice, frothy tan head. Taste is packed with maltiness, caramels, citrus, and floral tones. Just the right amount of hops in the finish that is present in an excellent amber ale.

This amber pours dark copper with a nice off-white head. Its aroma is full of malts. The flavor is sweet — caramel, nuts — with a roasted, floral bitter finish attesting to the western hops. A rich, full mouthfeel, much thicker than other ambers.
