Had fresh at the brewery's taproom in a flight of five.
It was the best of the flight, so I bought a 22 ounce bottle and this I review with clear palate.
For a brewery that focusses more on getting the hops right than making the malt bill balance, they have made a very nice amber.

Pretty amber. Undistinguished nose.
Sweet, but not too sweet and, yet, slightly dry in the finish. Hard to do, but easy to enjoy. And I did.

Pours a burnt copper with a trace of head the quickly evaporates without any lacing. Malty bread aroma... similar taste very sweet. Fresh and well-bodied.

A 22 ounce bomber poured into a shaker pint glass. Cool label.

Appearance - Rusty copper color. Murky. Nice tan head. Good lacing.

Smell - Malt. Earthy. A touch sweet.

Taste - Malty. Herbal. A touch sweet. A touch bitter.

Mouth - Syrupy. Nice.

Overall - A very nice Amber ale. Reminiscent of a British bitter.
