A - Half a finger of light brown head on a hazy amber- brown body with some chunks floating in it. No lace. Not promising...
S - Malty with some toasted notes and caramel. Minor citrus/ spicy hop presence in the background.
T - Malty and sweet with lots of caramel flavor. Clean yeast profile in the middle and the malt fades as some moderate spicy, nobel hop flavors appear towards the finish. Just enough bitterness to balance.
M - Medium-heavy body, moderate carbonation, and a sweet finish.
D - A nice, drinkable amber ale that tastes much better than it looks. There seems to have been an attempt to make this a more hop oriented beer than it turned out to be, but the use of German hops just doesn't work for me. Worth trying, but I probably won't ever feel the need to buy this again.

Dark amber color with moderate carbonation and has a smell of malt along with a malt taste, one you would expect from a Miller Lite or Budweiser. That’s what this tasted like to me if I had to compare it to anything. Sweet while drinking with a dry light hoppy finish. Not worth the price. The kind of beer I would drink once I’ve had a couple already.

On tap @ Yard House Vegas. Nice color, robust head that lasted (but not too much). Smooth drinking, reasonable ABV. Not quite a session ale, but good enough for more than one.

I was pleasantly surprised by this VERY nice amber. A golden amber color with a refreshing taste. Moderate hops with some malty notes. The ABV is moderate.

Bought a 6-pack Tamuras $8.29
Smell of caramel
Amber color
Medium mouthfeel
Medium-high carbonation
Caramel malt taste, easy drinking but would have liked a bolder taste as this one is a little on the thin side
Overall a nice beer that I would drink again, but there are a lot more desirable beers at this price range that I would buy first.
