As the leaves line the trees with colors bright, the Autumnal Amber Ramble comes into sight! Roxy Rolles pours in her wake foliage fallen and a perfect pairing of malt and hops.

Pour is medium amber without much head. Lacing though, nice lacing. Heavy citrus on the nose, more than I was expecting. Sweet.
The brew starts off nice and bitter, but then the malts take back over and a sweet malty tone jousts with a delightfully light citrus hop flavour.The hops are present, asserting themselves, but refuse to destroy the tongue. Wonderfully sweet without being sugary. Exceptionally balanced. A ground-breaking amber.
In terms of mouthfeel, this has some body, certainly more than I would expect for a beer of this ABV, and the hop bitters are solid as well. Drinkability: an easy beer to drink, smooth, and inexpensive given what you're getting in the bottle, a definite rebuy.
The bottom line: Magic Hat has put together one hell of a fine amber here. It has a great hop presence without overwhelming the malts, and a delightfully full body, all at a reasonable price. Probably my first pick when I'm in the mood for an amber from here on out.

Bottle from the Lazy Dog
Pours a deep amber color bordering on copper with a decent sized bubbly off white head. Big caramel and toffee on the nose with some earthy hops to counter. Rich caramel maltiness with a hint of toffee flavor. Earthy hop flavor with a moderate level of bitterness. Not sure why I picked this up, but I am pleasantly surprised. Its not too bad for an amber ale, Roxy Rolles rides again?
