Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a moderately dark copper to light amber color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Slight lace.
The aroma had a pretty good balance of the caramel/toffee malts to the citrusy and piney hops. Nice ebb and flow between malt sweetness to bitter hops.
The flavor balanced decently between the sweet and the bitter to evenly flow into the aftertaste with a little bit of biscuits and then punch the finish with some bitter hops.
The palate was about medium bodied with a good sessionability about it. Sturdy carbonation and a nice ABV.
Overall, I’d say this was a pretty good amber ale that I’d come back to.

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 A style that just seems very outdated.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.
