look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Pours a dark amber with a considerable off white head and a lot of lacing. A bit of piney hops in the smell along with some toffee sweetish malt. I really enjoyed the taste as it has bitter piney hops with sweet slightly roasted malt and a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is low to mid carbonation and slick. This is a higher end medium mouthfeel.

Overall I really enjoyed this amber ale. I usually really do not enjoy this style but this had more of everything... especially body, heavier malt influence and definite hops to balance it out. This is the first amber ale I can say that I would seek out again.

Poured a hazy copper with not much head to speak of. Creamy lacing that uniformly washed down. Pleasing smell developed as the beer warmed. Citrus taste approaching orange. Floral hops are distinct. Dark chocolate finish.

Clear copper, off-white head that retreats to a thin layer that clings to leave a little lacing.
Faint malt - consistent with style.
Fairly balanced maybe a little (modern) hoppy in the finish but not off-putting.
Medium body.
Pretty close to the middle but as a pale/amber that is where it should be.

Bottle, no visible date. CBF Tulip pint.

A: pours a clear copper orange with 1/2 finger just off-white head that fades fast. A little visible carbonation.

S: some initial sweetness, the standard cascade hoppy smell that I love from pale/ambers of the 1990s style. Looks and smells promising, given my penchant for beers of that type.

T: moderately dry arrival, slightly citrusy, cascade floral hoppy arrival. Crisp, lightly malty mid palate. Lingering floral citrus hop.

M: a touch thinner than I would expect an amber to be; really this is more of a 90s style pale, with a little carbonic nite.

O: This is a 90s pale, along the lines of Ruedrich’s Red Seal, Wolf’s Ridge Ridge Trail, or Great Lakes Burning River. Very satisfying classic

Beer has a copper to orange color very light head that dissipates quickly very little lacing on the glass this beer is a little too hoppy for me but if you like that type of thing you probably find giving this a shot worthwhile

Bought a 6pck of this from the beer store around the corner. It poured a clear amber with white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had a touch of sweet malt. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. There was a nice caramel malt base. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a solid amber.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Listed as 5.2%. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium orange/amber/light copper color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, apple, caramel, toasted bread, light pepper/pine, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of citrus/earthy hops, bready malt, and fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, apple, caramel, toasted bread, light pepper/pine, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, peach, pear, apple, caramel, toasted bread, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance citrus/earthy hops, bready malt, and fruit yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness/carbonation as well. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderate crisp, and creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a nice English Amber ale. All around good robustness and balance citrus/earthy hops, bready malt, and fruit yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. I was originally expecting a standard American amber ale, but the addition of the English yeast was really well balanced with the flavor profile. A nicely enjoyable offering.
