Clear copper/amber colored pour with an off-white head. Malty aroma with bread and caramel standing out. Taste follows the nose with strong bread and light caramel malt flavors standing out most. Can also taste a bit of earthy hop flavor that results in a slightly bitter finish.

Poured from the tap into a pint glass. The appearance is a clear Amber with a medium sized white head. The aroma is malt driven. The taste is malt with a slight bitter finish.

This tasted like a sour and I am not a sour kind of guy. Label says it is an amber but it is far from an amber type. I drain poured it on super bowl Sunday and i never do that. Will not buy again.

I tried this beer at the Pie Factory in Florence, Alabama. It poured a clear amber with huge white head that left some lace. The scent was sour as heck. The taste was sour tart....terrible. the Mouthfeel was lighter in body with huge carbonation. Overall this beer was not good....either the bottle was bad or this should have been characterized as a sour....not adding up.

Pours a medium amber color.
Faint malt smell. Not much there.
Taste is a moderate caramel malt with s lightly bitter, earthy aftertaste.
Mild for an amber but in a good way.

Good beer. I like the malt - sweet and smooth. A slightly above average Amber. I mean slightly. Good drinkability.
Had locally in WOB in Birmingham in Oct. 2026 while on business trip. Had in flight with other local beers. It stood its ground.

The 12 ounce bottle pours amber with a huge huge head. It doesn't last, but sure is foamy for a minute or so.
Aroma is a bit of caramel. The taste is caramel , malty, with quite a bit of hops.
Overall, it's a better than average amber.

A malt bomb for me. Nice color and maybe this was better when it was fresher (no bottling date though) but no longer. I think the recipe needs a little tweaking to tone down the sugar and malt and up the bitterness to make this a little more drinkable.
