Poured from undated 12 oz. can into a Pilsner glass. It pours a slightly hazy, rosy-amber color with a big, fluffy, ecru-colored cap and lots of soapy lacing inside the glass. Its nose is overwhelmingly malty with notes of caramel, apple, and maybe a whiff of cherry. The primary taste is sweet caramel malt augmented by apple, pear, and cherry. The grist provides an earthy background and there is no noticeable hop bitterness. But it does have a bit of an odd, metallic taste at the finish. Its mouth feel is moderately creamy with appropriate carbonation, and at 5.1% ABV and a 12 oz. format you could certainly pound a few. Overall, I think it's better than the BA average. It won't win awards but it's perfectly drinkable.

Pours a deep red amber - it certainly looks the part. That's about where the party ends. It smells like yogurt and tastes like blueberry yogurt. I thought it tasted better on the second sip but I was quickly reminded that no, it was not better. Unfortunate.

I really like this brewery, although this isn't of their best beers in my opinion I still think it's pretty good. For those complaining it doesn't have enough hops, I'd recommend trying their Early Autumn ale which is a hoppy amber ale. This beer wasn't intended to be hoppy, it's one of those malty sweet ambers. The best thing about it is the mouthfeel, it's very smooth and soft.

Can poured a clear orange amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of caramel, fruitiness and light earthiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of caramel, earthiness and light fruitiness with a crisp lingering caramel finish.
