Decent sized sample on 14th July 2014 at a Beer and Indian Food evening: The Clay Oven, Irvine, Orange County. Tasted between two strong Stouts and basically used to cleanse my mouth: which it did nicely. Amber and clear body, off-white crown. The nose was hoppy with floral notes. The taste similar but seemed a little bland and thin with subtle/weak flavouring. A refreshing enough beer but lacked depth compared to some of the heavy hitters it was up against at the 5 brewery tasting evening.

Almost clear amber beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Light thin malts and light dry cream. Touches of orange and orange peel. Light bitterness before the semi dry finish. It’s fine if a bit on the timid side.

Keg at Rock’n’Fish, Laguna Beach, 17/04/14. Clear amber with light reddish tones when held to the light topped with a moderate light beige swirl. Nose is toasty maltings, orange, pinch of spice, light caramel, faint hops. Taste comprises caramel, toasty notes, hint of vanilla, biscuit, light spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. A thoroughly whelming inoffensive amber shmamber, may as well be 6,000 miles away back home ticking at a Spoons fest!

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours copper/amber with a slight off-white head. Aroma is mild citrus/floral. Med body. Flavor is cooked caramel, spicy hop, citrus and floral hop. The cooked aspect doesn’t appeal. That’s two beers tonight I’ve had that as an issue with. Maybe I am just needing more hops than some brewers choose to use. I agree this is hoppy for an amber, and as a very little bitter builds the ale becomes more agreeable.

On tap at the brewery. Pours with a clear amber hued body with a white head that lasts. Aromas are lightly orangy, citrusy, hoppy, maybe some tangerine. Malty, and quite a bit of caramel. Clean yeast wise. Flavors are malty, grassy, medium bitter. Caramel, lightly nutty, floral. Pretty clean. Straight forward, clean and good. A pretty decent amber ale (as far as those go).
