I will make it short and sweet; comes off as a session beer, light and so not Scottish. A light hop bite to it but comes off as cat pee and fart mixed with normal flavors like syrupy strawberry. I really can’t believe this is so strong, comes off as a session beer with some off flavors.
12oz bottle, St. Paul tulip/snifter glass.

12 oz bottle...cloudy golden-copper...little beige head...smells like Heineken on steroids...on a further sniff+ swirl malts surface, pretty plain...wow tastes like candy on the first sip--strawberry pop rocks or something, but not all sweet like a fruit beer, its mixed with a beer, slight bitter finish, good...better than I thought, but still not an every day...body is pretty light, but not watery...speckled loose lacing

bottle - Amber ale? That’s another categorization I don’t agree with here. If the brewer says it’s an APA, I think there needs to be a good reason to call it something else. IMO it easily has enough hops to fit the style. But anyway, it pours coppery and slightly hazy with a two finger, lingering head. There’s a good citrus hop aroma. The flavor is moderately bitter with a little citrus. The balance is just ok. It could use some more character. This medium bodied brew finishes dry.

bottle - Pours golden with a thin white head. The aroma is pale malt and a little hops. Some mild hops balances the bread like malts, but it could use more. It’s meant to be a light session brew, but could still use some more flavor. Not bad.

12 oz bottle-pours a retaining off white head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel, grainy, secondary citrus. Taste is medium malt-caramel, grainy, secondary citrus/spicy hops. Nice although the finish is thin.

Bottle. First, congrats to Erie for having the most inappropriate name that I’ve run across to date. Body is a dingy amber with an orange highlights and a one finger head at first. Aromas are sweet and fruity... not what I was expecting from the label. There is also a little bit of a dusty yeastiness to the aromas. My first thought is \"Is this really only 6.8% ABV?\" There is absolutely no attempt made to hide the astringent alcohol, and it probably kills some of the more subtle flavors. Second, this is an APA? Really? It’s not bad, but I don’t see it. With the candi sugar like sweetness and the high octane alcohol presence it seems misplaced, but hey, it’s not my brewery. Anyhow, starts off sweet and then turns hot and alcoholic, ending with a somewhat chalky and yeasty aftertaste. Not great, not horrible.

Bottle. Body is about the color of darkly stained cherry wood with some of the reddish highlights where the light pours in. Aromas are sweet and malty with a little bit of an apple and fruit undertone. Flavor is sweet of apples and toffee with a touch of a spicy note that strikes now and again, but not consistently. Mouthfeel is failry smooth and a little silky, but there is a bit of an aftertaste that is slightly acidic and a little bit foul. Kind of like rotten peat moss with a chalky texture. Still, it is an inconsistent aftertaste that doesn’t follow each sip, and when it isn’t there, things are pleasant, but fairly unispiring.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Golden body, medium, dense off-white head. Light bready, medicinal aroma. Citrusy, lemony hops dominate the palate, backed by bready, toasty malts. Moderate hops bite. Strongly carbonated. Not bad, but not particularly drinkable, either, due to the sharp carbonation and overhopping.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Orange/amber body, thick dense buff head that leaves excellent lacing. Aroma of toast and alcohol, rather indistinct at such a cold serving temperature. The body is quite sweet, featuring breads, unfermented sugars, and lingering, light earthy hops notes. Features a touch of prickly alcohol heat. A somewhat unsophisticated medley of cloying sweetness and leafy hops.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Deep red-brown body, thin, dense buff head. Cerealy nose, served too cold to pick up much depth. Medicinal body with strong leafy hops, crackers, dark fruit candies, and butterscotch (but not diacetyl). Subtle alcohol notes. A bit syrupy, bordering on cloyingly sweet after several sips, but still enjoyable and interesting.
