Had on-tap as a part of a paddle at Boat Works in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.
Appearance: A brownish, rustic amber color with a slightly creamy off-white head. A lot of lacing.
Smell: Definitely a hoppy amber. Floral hops and earthiness. A bit of "grit" in the aroma as well from the malt. Pleasant.
Taste/feel: Bitter, dry, floral, and with a nice malty flavor, though this beer is definitely a bit more on the bitter side. I wasn't aware that it was an amber when I had ordered it, but it makes sense now that I see the style. More of a red IPA in my opinion, due to the heavy hopping and bitterness. Feel is a little bit light -- I'd like a bit more body -- but the carbonation is about moderate, and I'm good with that.
Definition of a "solid" beer. It's good, and it has a decent amount of depth to keep things interesting, but it's one of Greenbush's less awesome beers.
