Distinctly malty with a soft mouth feel, our Amber is a great pairing companion to any of your favorite foods. A mellow hop finish balances out this brew.

This beer is topped by a wispy, ring of bubbles that hug the sides of the glass. The beer is a full copper color with reddish hues and it is a brilliantly clear beer. There is a light berry note in the aroma and this is accentuated by a light sweet note, perhaps there is even a bit of tartness to this beer, and there is some definite hop character in the aroma as well.
The taste has some nice hop notes in it; I get notes of herbs and a light, lingering bitterness, as well as some menthol like notes and a bit of orange-like citrus character. The malt mainly manifests itself as a sweet caramel note, which works quite well with the fruit character. This is a well balanced beer, easy to drink, but I like it a touch less than the Red ale, though it is damn close in like-ability. In the end the fruitiness is the note that stands out the most to me.

On-tap at the brewpub itself. On to the beer:
The color makes the style proud, being an amber color with a tint of orange color. Good doses of lacing is provided and clings to the glass. The aroma is slightly fruity and has a major toasted grain accent. In fact, the dominance of the tasted grain is more intense in the flavor of the beer. With that in mind, you could probably replace toasted bread in a meal with this amber ale. Very very toasty with brad crust and just a kiss of esters. It's a lighter/medium bodied beer that is easy to get down. The taste is A-Okay, though overall I found it too one dimensional.

A standard, refreshing, sessionable amber ale. Lighter on hops, with a sweet malty base that lingers nicely. Average amber appearance, a almondy sweet smell, and an average mouthfeel with the proper amount of carbonation as well. Nothing wrong here, just a decent example of the style.

On tap at the brewpub. Neutral aroma, the taste is malty with a bit of hops to complement it. It's a redish colour, with some white head and it's lacey. Passable drinkable, and necessary basic beer in this town. I would like a more hoppy version. Average mouthfeel.

Enjoyed on tap at the Brewer's Den. Pours a traditional amber, with a soft malty nose and palate. Insufficient hops to balance the malt, and the malt isn't out of this world. Rather ordinary, uninteresting ale but it may pair well with some of the pub fare.
