Pretty Good Amber
Appearance: initially 12 oz draft at a pub.... lively... Cold mug? Need to be patient with it.. If it's too cold... In this light I estimatedSRM 12 or 13... ObservedPerfect ring lacing...
Nearly month later Poured from the can with color reference in good lighting SRM-17 spot on for an Amber... Initial temperature is still 42° we're going to be patient.. It pours a gorgeous Clean amber leaning orange with yellow head...
Nose: malt... hops... Let it open up .
At 42° not a lot. to smell nothing Happening for the nose when a warms about 55 some malts and some honey... For the nose
Tasting: This is an ale it leans malty
Malt... It was really too cold to open up... The burp... Yes Malt and hop note... Not bitter... Ibu ?? 12. Is my guess... Kent Golding... Not nobile... Ale?... It's like an English or an Irish not at all hop for it Not really balanced it's not sweet enough to really require balance
It's rather domestic... We're trying not to knock our socks off but it is pretty good... I mean in my compare with like a smithwick... Sam Adams... Nothing special in the hops though... So trying to figure out the style It's just an Amber... Amber ale... Of course it's fake but there's no yeast character here That's not a bad vote...
Dude I'm overthinking it I wanted to be a nice like Elliot Ness but it's just not there There's something special about that one but that's a lager...it's pretty good but it's not great... It's an airlines inspect a little more character and sphinctered down a little bit maybe with the hops there's plenty of bitter going on here... Knock knock a dry pallet then detect a little sweet. That's what happens with these... Don't drink them too cold.
. It's 50 and half gone... This is not one for a thirsty fellow... Amber Orange and the head is yellow... . There's nothing wrong with it It keeps getting gone
Overall drinkable meh. It's nice to look at.. leaves sweetness in the mouth when it's over... It's bitter and tasteless while you're drinking it... I should buy six and then I'll know... I can't really change my rating

Does the story check out? Its not quite a deep dive, but let's wade into this one.
I had this at that marketplace in downtown Milwaukee. Pretty cool. Pour gave me some Celebration ale vibes. That is a good thing, no matter what ol ddb might say. Pours that space between brown and crimson/ruby red. Dark red ya know? Only the lonely know this feeling IS right. 1/3" off white to beige head. The aroma hit some crystal (caramel) malt and similar Celebration like C hops.
Taste seemed to lean on the barley more than the hops comparatively. A mixture of brown and red like toasted malt to achieve. Stays substantially in the bittering hop realm coming up like that blend of Nugget and Chinook. I don't believe the commercial tug job about only having 15 ibu. I mean, yes, it is less hoppy than Nugget Nectar or Celebration, probably falls into Alaskan Amber Ale territory in that regard. Might even have a smidge of chocolate malt to it. While Alkaline Trio's Poison is playing right now, this beer is definitely not poisonous.

12oz can. Bottom date stamp reads 'CANNED ON 05-21-2024'.
Mostly clear, medium amber colored body. One finger of light beige head, which continues on as a thin cap. Leaves behind horizontal layers of lacing.
Aroma of toasted caramel malts and green apple.
Taste is led by toasted malts with flavors of caramel and cacao. A little fruity with green apple. Floral hops. Crisp and slightly bitter in the aftertaste.
Medium mouthfeel, with some creaminess. Very good carbonation.
Lives up to its name, but not more so. Decent amber brew.
