This beer is an excellent, well-balanced example of a classic American style Amber Ale. Pacific Northwest hops balance the malty, caramel flavor with a nice herbal hop finish. Hops: Nugget, Mt. Hood

Draft pour pint at the xfinity arena. Royalties for the brand name drop? Concert beer, and a not new record for plastic cup beers in an evening. Pours a reddish copper color. I feel like my visual observations of amber ales has become quite redundant. Sweet, sugary maple like aroma. Almost like cinnamon. Weird. Nutty flavor, and sugar sweet. This is probably the best beer option at this arena. Note to self: there isn’t very good beer at this arena.

On tap at the Porterhouse, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is perfumey and sweet. Flavour is around the same, with perfume, sweet malt, and light bready notes. Very bland sweetish amber. Not too good.

This is poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing sticking and then sliding down into the beer.
The smell had a nice sweet roasty nutty to caramel maltiness.
The taste was mainly roasty malty sweetness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was good for the style and for me.
Overall, decent amber nothing to go bonkers about but could possibly have again.

Bottle. Poured a dark amber color with an off-white head. Aroma was light caramel notes, some earthy hops. Flavor was earthy hops, surrounded my a mostly biscuit, caramel and malty body. Drinkable, but not overly refreshing unfortunately.

Bottle from Total Wines, Sterling VA. Deep amber in colour with an off-white head. Easy drinking with some caramel and a trace of liquorice, before a gentle finish. Fine.

Bottle at Christine and Daves, cheers DLJ, 29/11/13. Hazed dark orange/amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is biscuit malt, caramel crunch, brown sugar. Taste comprises cake mix, brown sugars, light metallic tang, Soreen Maltloaf, thin hop presence. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finale. A little thin and watery. Mediocre affair.

Hazy amber color with creamy head. Like many Amber Ales, this one as well is quite boring; there is some malt, more in the flavor, with light residual sweetness, some late caramel, and a good bitterness level. The hop qualities are shy but not absent.
Decent.
2012-07-27, draught at Tavolata, Seattle, 6-4-5-2-11=28
Hazy amber color. Nice aroma, perfumy, some hop, malt, yeast, in the order. Simple caramel flavor, with some diacetyl and fermentation by-products, maybe not fresh. Some fruity touch in the end, from the yeast, not from the hop. Ordinary bitterness.
