Taster pour at the source (avg 2016 and 2020-nitro versions). Appearance is clear amber with no sparkle, finger-width creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma has a citrus spiciness to it (reminiscent of bug spray) and malty. Taste is strong caramel, malt, spiciness, pine, mild dark fruit. Palate is medium bodied with thick, creamy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and sweet finish with lingering piney bitterness. Overall, pretty much as it should be though aroma has a weird, synthetic sense to it.

650 ml bottle, no date of any kind on the label. Aroma is toffee, grapefruit and citrus hops. Yep, the flavor is mostly a toffee base with toasted grain. Very mild hop for balance. Medium body, average texture. No problems with the beer.
In General I understand why breweries still brew an amber ale. They need a brew that pleases the masses. Not everybody is ready for a wine barrel aged saison with a Brett culture, or an imperial stout aged 10 months in some kind of whiskey, cognac or bourbon barrel. Honestly for me the amber ale style is just so boring. A style that just seems very outdated.

Bottle from Bert’s Slightly hazy orange amber with a huge bubbly beige head that shows great retention. Caramel toffee and pine with bits of grapefruit pith and pine for balance. The flavor adds notes of chocolate to what I found in the aroma. Nicely balanced with a hint of overindulgence to the hop side which I really enjoyed. Nice brew.
