Brewed with a variety of North American Barley and exclusively Cascade hops, this 5.8% ABV medium-bodied American Amber ale pours a deep copper color, with aromas and flavors reminiscent of caramel, toffee, and light molasses. It's the perfect beer to sip while sitting by a fire, deep in the Maine woods.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper/auburn color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light herbal to earthy hops; caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: seemed to do a good job of intertwining the prior noted aromas to a fair and balanced sweet to bitter quality: finishes semi-earthy with the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; light smoothness but also some hop assertiveness - nothing overbearing just noticeable
Overall: nice enough amber ale I could return to.

16 oz can. Shows a copper color with medium, white head. Aroma is sweet caramel, and mild herbal hops. Taste is similar with caramel sweetness punctuated by a soft herbal finish. Palate is medium-bodied, thin texture. It met my expectations.
