On tap. 7.3% ABV. Sant Clemente. Pours a beautiful, clear, reddish dark amber with a creamy and dense off-white head leaving laces. Sweet, burned caramel in the nose with some American hops. Medium-bodied, sweet nutty accents, burned caramel and a good hop-bite in the finish. Solid and an American archetype. 250111

A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet spicy - I guess from the hops. The flavor is sweet malty with caramel being most dominant, but also a light spicyness.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear dark reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Caramel malt aroma along with hops in the nose. Medium body with a well balanced sweet biscuit malt and citrusy hops character. The finish is sweet with a lingering caramel finish. Decent Amber overall.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a hazy amber color with a thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. The aroma is moderately hoppy with a solid earthy malt undertone. Medium-bodied and round with subtle hops, fruit and malt flavors. The finish is balanced between piney hops and malt. Overall this is a somewhat toned-down take on the original, despite what the name implies. I was not very impressed.

Draught at the Solana Beach location. The beer pours a clear brownish amber color with a medium thin beige head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing with some spots. Toasted malt, hops and mild spice in the nose. Medium-bodied and smooth with moderate hops, herbs and spice and grainy malt flavors. The finish is hoppy and spicy with a lingering bitterness. Pretty solid flagship beer overall.
