Had this one at Petco Park under the moniker "Ball Park Ale" I believe it was called. It had a very cloudy, unfiltered pour to it with a dark amber color and a nice off white head. The smell was pretty non existant aside from some sweet carmel maltiness. The taste was pretty good an much better than the other crap they usually sell at the stadium. The beer went down very eaisly and was quite drinkable. The sweet carmel malts that I smelt were not as prevelant in the flavor and mixed in well with the slight hop bitterness and the very dry aftertaste. At $7.50 a pop, I savored every last drop, but I was satisfied for sure. Try this if you ever get the chance.

Out to dinner at Kincaid’s in St. Paul, I had several drafts of “Kincaid’s Unfiltered Amber.” No one could tell me much about the beer until a waiter (who had to be a beer-lover) told me that the beer was made by Pyramid. He said that it’s the same unfiltered amber that’s sold in Seattle, and that Kincaid’s carries it in their restaurants under their own name.
It’s a hazy, cloudy, burnt-amber beer with a dense head. The aroma is of toasted malts, crackers, fruit, and spicy hops. Up front, it’s notably sweet, with a light maltiness running through the taste. It drys out by the finish, and is crisp, clean, and moderately hoppy. Very smooth (almost creamy), this beer is extremely easy to drink. Very enjoyable.

a little lighter and more consistent looking than Mac & Jacks, but definitley similar. Smell was quite pleasent and very inviting.

The taste and the texture were the real winners though. Flavor was crisp and ever-so-slightly sweet. The texture was exceptional; smooth but not thin. Left a nice sharp wheat flavor in the throat even though it wasn't so apparent when in the mouth.

drink it, and have another one; it's tasty.

Sampled at the Pyramid Ale House across from the Mariner's Stadium.

Deep hazy beer that glows a deep orange from the yeast and hops.

Beer has a light fruity hoppy nose with soft citrus nose. As the beer warms a faint strawberry aroma becomes apparent

Flavor is spicy with yeast and hops and has a long chewy caramel malt on a rich and rounded body enhanced by the yeast and proteins.
