Another DC classic brew, Deadicated Amber Ale stood the test of time over the last 20 years because it is a solid, delicious amber, near and dear to our hearts. Caramel malt and Cascade hops are perfectly balanced in this beer. Deadicated Amber is the cool jam band of beer. If this beer were an iconic rock band, you'd want to follow it around the country. This amber ale begs the question, "Are you Deadicated?"

Bottle from Lucky Market. Dark amber, with ring of soft head. Aroma and taste lean hard on the malts.Very caramelly. Just enough sweetness, and right amount of bitterness. Pretty solid, and better than the score indicates.

Fits the appearance of an amber to a T. Amber hue, finger-width head, light lacing. Smell is wheaty and malty. Caramel, toffee, bread, crackers, faint dry hops and hay.
Ambers are a guilty pleasure of mine, but I am pretty particular with them when it comes to taste. This one has a nice balance that I enjoyed. Not overly malty like some tend to be, with the hops coming through just enough to balance things out. Nice doughy, bready, cracker character held up by the hefty but not overbearing malt backbone.
Straight shooting amber.

Pretty drinkable amber with decent flavors but everything going on for this beer is pretty muted/watered down. Not enough malt heft, not particularly roasty, not really hoppy or anything, just ok all around.

Pours a hazy copper with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Tiny particles of sediment are seen suspended in the beer after the pour. Smell is of malt, caramel, earth, and citrus fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with slightly tart malt, earth, caramel, and citrus fruit flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop and earth bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer with a solid aroma, but the slight tartness in the taste is a bit odd to me.
