Bottle Thanks to Jake65 Pours out dark brown topped with a tan head. Aroma is of roast malts, brown sugar, smoke, and some chocolate. Taste is more of the malts, sweetness, pit fruit, and a nice smoke finish.

12oz bottle. Foggy amber-brown color, minimal oily head. Spicy, pungent amber malt and resiny, piny hop aroma. A rather well done Amber, with some chewy hop character and a steady malt backbone that brings to mind a full bodied American ESB. Rather astringent and bitter up front. Sugary crystal malts in the finish. OK, but not one I’d actively seek out again.

Purchased in Nashville on my trip there. Pours a clean copper colour with a beautiful creamy beige head that has great retention and lacing. Hardly any carbonation. Full aromas of dark fruits (dates, raisins), malts (caramel, roasted) and nuts (hazelnuts, almonds). Crisp refreshing mouthfeel and medium-bodied. The hops shows up in the taste (not too bitter) but more flavourful. Nutty, caramel, roasted, bready and buttery (but all in a soft way). A really nice easy-drinking amber ale that has a great full nose.

maybe i got a bad beer, and im hoping that was the case, but this was like a macro trying to be cool, ie "blue moon". bland lager flavor thats way too carbonated, no real distinctive flavor or character, a drain pour, not even good for a lawnmower beer.
