An American Amber Ale. Epicenter Amber received a Bronze Medal at Reno Canfest, and an 89 Rating in 2011 DRAFT Magazine. A deep copper amber hue with a firm, toasted malt character, lightly sweet with a crisp dry finish. Epicenter has become a gateway ale for novice Craft Beer drinkers. The light, approachable taste is quenching and appealing to new and long term Craft lovers alike.

Had on tap outside in 100+ AZ heat Served in a pint glass.
Amber color with small head, leaves no lacing in the glass. Not much to the smell on this one I get a little malt but not much else. Taste is of malts and caramel. Don't get any sense of hops. Mouthfeel provides decent carbonation and alcohol with some sweetness on the end.
Overall this is a refreshing beer that is relatively light for a hot day.

Pours a clear honey gold with a finger of foamy head that slowly settles to a thin cap with a fair bit of lacing. Aroma of toffee. Taste follows nose. Sewwt finish, a bit under carbonated.

Medium amber with finger of off white head that leaves a fair bit of lacing down the glass. In the aroma, pretty standard for an amber ale, with a mild caramel/toffee quality and a bread crust base. Same with the flavor, except, more so. Nothing off-putting at all about the brew, which I had at the Gilbert pub. Easy drinking and refreshing, with a medium body, average carbonation, and not dry, but, not slick, either. Good game day brew.
