A - ruby amber with a soft, white head with little retention
S - caramel, sugar, bread, faint nuttiness, plum, raisin
T - same as the nose with more pronounced sugar and fruit notes
M - medium bodied, smooth, good carbonation
This is a fantastically flavored beer. It has more flavor than most ambers and it retains a strong drinkability. It's definitely worth checking out.

This Greenville, SC-based beer is right down the road from Clemson and has become one of my favorites. A great amber color, a nice subtle aroma of malt and caramel. One of my favorite tasting ambers, and goes down surprisingly smooth. Not as smooth as a Fat Tire, but pretty close considering the ABV. Overall, this is one of my favorite local offerings!

Tough to find a great red ale in my city with the IPA craze. This is one of the better ambers I've tried. It's deceptively easy drinking with a full and pleasant flavor. Bravo to Thomas Creek and hopefully I can continue to find it.
