    While visiting Michigan a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to try some Bell's Amber Ale. I have also had Nugget Nectar quite a few times. I think this style is growing on me. What are some other good Amber Ales out there?

    What is the difference between a "Red" and an "Amber"?

    Tocabaga ain't bad. Odell's Red is great. Gknight is sublime.

    Sneaky Choice Ipswich Harvest Ale (fall seasonal, slightly hopped up, great local session brew)

    Laguintas Imperial Red is good but its really a malty IPA IMO.

    Call me crazy but Smithwicks is a great Macro/Import Option.
