We named our Amber Ale after Miami’s most recognizable landmark, sometimes referred to as the “Ellis Island of the South” for its historical association with the local Cuban-American population.

Poured a dark, seethru copper body with large, three-finger head that slowly died and left lace patches all down glass. Mild, buttery toffee aroma with some minor roasted notes as well. Smooth, easy to drink, not much hoppiness and beer is a little thin but it’s crisp, light, floral, a little sharp and has minor sweetness.

from a 12oz can (2 1/2 months old) into a pint glass
Look: pours deep amber with a thick 3/4" of off-white head with average retention. the beer is close to 100% clear. little to no lacing observed.
Smell: nutty, toasted bread and subtle caramel. grassy, earthy hop aromas. and doughy yeast. a hint of booze.
Taste: a malt forward beer with mild sweetness, caramelly flavors and perfectly balanced medium bitterness.
Feel: medium body, almost rich texture, moderate carbonation and subdued astringency. Finishes short and dry with a light lingering bitterness.
Overall: I have drank a lot of this beer. altogether, I have had better experience with it on draught. overall, I find it very good to outstanding. The Tank continue to put out consistently good beers compared to what is coming out of other local breweries. Kudos to them for concentrating of quality and consistency versus quantity and experimentation for experimentation's sake.

On tap in Alexandria. The bar has this one listed as an American Amber.
It pours a tawny color, clear and filtered.
The aroma is of biscuits and toffee: very malt-heavy, and fairly old school. The flavor is bready throughout, offset by just enough hop bitterness, with a finish that's spicy and lightly tangy.
This reminds me strongly of Millstream's fantastic Shild Brau--only here the yeast profile isn't quite up to snuff. Still a good, quaffable beer.
