At a Beermalade tasting. Rather thin body, med-high carbonation. Medium bitterness, light grainy astringency, light-low sweetness. Mostly malty, medium nutty, light caramelly, hints of fruitiness. Not my favourite, which aint surprising as generally amber beers have to do something different to be such. This one does not.

On tap at Craft & Carry UWS, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is full of tart blueberry and raspberry skins, wild yeast, and some subtle grape skins. Flavour has a nice blueberry skin character, light raspberry skins, and musty wild yeast. A bit jumbled but it�s alright.

On tap at The Greats of Craft NYC, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma smells like one of those Hair of the Dog concrete egg scents, with biscuity malt, and straw. Flavour is sharp, with somewhat metallic notes, biscuity malt, and straw. Crisp bitterness from the hops on the finish. Weird expression that I can�t quite put my finger on.

Can (from Beer Republic). Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is mango and basil with some citrus tones too. Flavour is citrus, strong basil, mild mango with some wooden and mildly tart tones too. Refreshing. Basil gives it a nice twist.
