No dates on this label, pours a slightly hazed amber hue with a billowing khaki tan head, fine speckled lacing. Aroma has some caramel malts, nice cereal grains with slightly earthy pine hop notes. Flavor is sharp with a tart sour bread note with a harsh grainy husk note, and earthy hops coming through. Only $1.89 a bottle but this one has something going on that I'm not sure the brewer intended. Not the most drinkable or palatable amber I've come across however there's a nice fruitiness, with cereal grains and caramel notes coming together light herbal/earthy hops in the flavor. Not bad just needs some work in quality control, I'm not saying infection but there's something off here. Mouthfeel is medium bodied smooth mellow carbonation really nothing to complain about the texture. Overall like I said it may need tweaking or this bottle may not be as fresh as I would prefer there's no way of telling considering there's not bottling dates.

Ordered on draft. Inch or so of head, copper colored. Mild, malt leaning aroma. Taste followed the aroma, quite smooth and one can savor or chug with equal enjoyment. Would order again without hesitation.

A: The beer is clear orange amber in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high beige head that died down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge of the glass and a small patch of bubbles in the center.
S: Light to moderate aromas of toasted and biscuit malts are present in the nose.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste is rather malty and has flavors of biscuits and toasted malts. No bitterness is present, but there are enough underlying hops to mask any sweetness.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a nice amber ale if you like beers that are malty, but drinkable.

Aroma is floral, toasted and nutty, with a hint of fruity specialty malt character.
Flavor reveals a toasted, nutty malt base throughout, with highlights of fruity specialty malt and citrus that fade into a lightly bitter finish.
