Our Amber Ale is designed to start bright and lively from an abundance of Crystal Malts. We establish a strong contrast between front palate and back palate by adding generous amounts of Munich Malt, which provides a distinct toasty finish.

Bottle at home. Aroma is bready malt, straw, caramel, hint of nuts. Flavour is lightly sweetish and light to moderate bitter. Body is light to medium. Drinkable but weak and highly forgettable beer, it’s just so mediocre.

Bottled 355ml. -from Red Square Market, Val Thorens, France. Clear amber coloured, small off-white head, dry caramel nose. Sweet malty, caramel, dried fruits and notes of dog food and cardboard with short sticky finish. BBE date almost a year ago. Obviously dead.

Bottle at home, heavily discounted because of the bb date (Oct. ’16). Clear deep amber pour. Sticky, rocky off white head with reasonable retention. Aroma’s of malt and red fruit. Retronasal it’s red fruit upfront, with light bitterness. Flavor is light malty sweet, fruity, light bitter. Light bodied, a bit thin on the palate actually. Finishes with light malt and light bitterness. Still not bad.

12 oz. bottle. From Trader Joe’s. Pours a deep, clear Amber color, thin lasting head. Aroma is mostly caramel with hints of nuts.

Flavor is simple and thin. This body is light and watered down. It is kind of like if you got a nice amber ale and let an ice cube melt in it. Caramel, maple hints, maybe nuts. Pretty weak in every aspect. Not very good at all.

35 cl bottle, 2.40€, 4.9%. Bright red/nutty brown color, short offwhite head. Fresh hoppy and ginger nose. Fruity aroma with grapefruit, nice roasted malts lingering, caramel leftover. Taste is tart in the beginning, sweet in the middle and delicately bitter in the finish. Notes of dry cocoa in the finish. Finish is quite dry, somewhat dusty, tart, gently acidic. Carbonated, fluffy foamy texture, light body. Very good.

0.355l bottle @ The Duck, NYC. Blurry, deep champagne brown, small islandy off-white. Buttery, caramel. Smells kinda oldish, bitter scotch and diabetes(!?). Bah. Taste a bit better luckily. Sweet really malty. Amber malts and it's in a way like drinking a soft biscuit cake. Grows on you, but not all that to be honest. Think this is a old bottle. 21.06.2013

Location: Draft, 10/17/12

Aroma: Kind of a dull nose, light malts, a little nuts, some caramel
Appearance: Clear caramel-orange color, small head, medium-plus lace
Flavor: The flavor, like the nose is kind dull, it has a ight malty flavor
Palate: This beer has a fairly light body, a somewhat creamy feel, and average carbonation
Overall Impression: Not very impressive. The nose and flavor are both fine, malty, and boring. Don't rush out to try this one.

Barley malt nose with traces of cherries. Dark amber, thin yellow head. Astringent flavor of cardboard. Finishes with white grape skins. Not a particularly good example of the style.
