Appearance This one was a beautiful reddish-orange in color with a monster head that left some awesome lacing.
Smell The sharp, piney resin aroma jumps straight out of the glass. Theres a very light, slightly-sweetened malt base to this one as well, but the piney hops make this one a standout.
Taste This one has a very sharp, hoppy taste to lead things off. It seems more like citrus than the pine from the nose. This is followed by a much bigger malt balance and a sweet, almost tangy finish.
Mouthfeel Theres some good carbonation to this Amber Ale. The body is a little shy of medium but theres enough hops here to make it refreshing and a bit dry.
Drinkability I had no problem putting this bottle to bed. The flavor didnt quite live up to the nose, but overall this is a very good example of the style.

Found this one at ABC Liquor and figured I would give it a shot.
Not too bad of an ale, I've had MUCH better ambers though. There is a distinct acidic feeling when drinking. It hits you right in middle of the mouth and is generaly not a good feeling.
While this beer might be okay sometimes, it is certainly not an everyday type of beer. It is much to acidic and very unpleasant in large quantities ( I had 3 the first night I bought it and thought I was going to die).
If you must drink beer in a night, please make this the last one you drink, afterwards you probably won't want to drink anymore.

Received a bottle among other offerings from a pal who recently was on vacation.
On the pour, a nice foamy head quickly sprang to life. The beer had a cloudy amber look with a pretty up-front malty aroma. All seemed fine...
After my first gulp, which sampled not bad in taste, I started to notice very much that the beer was WAY over-carbonated. The beer started to foam up right in my mouth. Undrinkable for me.
Perhaps I have just a bad bottle. A pitty, as I was looking forward to a fine beverage. (This was my only bottle of Dergy's; oh well, back to my cooler for more - other beer!)
