Three beers available at this place, none of them had any sort of fancy names. There was "Lager" "Raspberry" (a weisen, though my waitress pronounced it "way-son") or "Amber." Hmm...
So they're not very creative. That doesn't mean that they can't make a decent beer, right? I got the amber, because someone next to me ordered the lager and it looked like water.
And yes, they can make a decent beer. The amber was a very rich red color but it had no head and no lacing. Its smell was very weak but nice, fruity with hints of hop. It was a very plain and light taste. The taste was a sweet hop, not as hoppy as most American Amber Ales, along with a very nice fruity aftertaste. I have to stress how light the flavor was, which was a shame because what was there actually tasted pretty damn good. Medium body and light carbonation.
