This little beer is just about everyhting I expected. Decent brown-amber color with an off white head. Aroma had a bit of caramel notes and a hint of hops. The flavor was well balanced, with a fair amount of caramel sweetness that was accented by a very subtle bitterness. Mouthfeel was a bit thinner than I prefer, but this one goes down easy.

Served as part of a sampler tray at their brewpub. This poured a very and very clear copper-amber color. A small but creamy head topped the beer off. The aroma has some sweet toffee malts, but overall is pretty weak. The taste is light yet flavorful with just a touch of caramel sweetness. Body is light and a bit watery. Overall, a drinkable and unobtrusive amber ale, but really nothing to write home about.
