Bottle. Clear honey brown, cream soda, mild caramel in the nose. Thin watery body. The taste is weak watery caramel, a bit acrid bitter malts kind of a sugary sweet finish. Meh. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 7/7/13
Aroma: The nose is light malts, some caramel, a little fruit, and some bread
Appearance: Pours a reddish/amber color with a small beige head and light lace
Flavor: The taste is much like the nose, with some malty sweetness, and metallic notes
Palate: The body is fairly light, with a bit of a thin/watery feel, that just doesn't have enough heft
Overall Impression: Look, I certainly wasn't impressed by this one, but I was still a little surprised to see the score be a 2 in the style. Ouch. Anyway, that's not far off, this is a pretty mediocre Amber Ale.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and a bit of metal, leading to a dry finish. Thanks pinball for sharing.

Bottle 34,1 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a clear amber with a small dissipating off-white head. Subtle roasty nose with a discreet whiff of aroma hops. Light body, dry caramel accents - and then absolutely nothing. Waters out completely with no bitterness what so ever. 150512
