I didn't think beer was too bad. It goes down smooth for an Amber. One of my favorite Ambers is Alaskan and this one similar but not as sweet.
This Amber is not overwhelming in taste, which I like. It's the kind of Amber where you can 6 of them on a good day and not be too full.

Pours a dark, red hued amber with little head formation and a ring of off white foam. Decent clarity. Some earthy hops and metallic tones; not really impressed. Tastes like watered down cola and over steeped tea. Some hints of crystal sugars in here, but faint. Medium on thin for the style with low carb. I'm not happy with this beer.

Poured into a pint glass. About a finger of head... good color - reddish orange and hazy. Very similar to their pale ale. Little malts, mostly hop on the nose - a little woody, a little dark bread... little apple maybe? It's sweet... a little banana and cloves. And surprisingly, there is residue from the yeast in the can (now in my glass). I don't think of this as an unfiltered beer. The mouthfeel is okay, nothing special. Overall, it's average. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if it was there, I would drink it.

Poured from 12oz can into a pint glass.

Appearance: rich amber hue with a tiny touch of haze to the body and a frothy tan foam cap. Head retention isn't great, but otherwise this is a nice looking beer.

Smell: crystal malt aroma with a nice dose of citrusy hops; I'm thinking cascades. Pretty decent for an amber.

Taste: moderately sweet malt with a definite crystal malt character. Hops are pretty light with a little bit of citrus and a touch of bitterness at the end. Middle of the road, decent amber.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a super silky, creamy texture. Definitely my favorite part of this beer.

Overall: this is possibly my favorite of Two Beers' offerings. Most of their brews seem a little homebrewey, but this beer is a perfectly serviceable small-brewery amber. I'm not sure why it is so unloved here.

Had on tap at Matt's on the Market in Seattle. A dark amber brown color, with a very tiny head. Not much aroma, maybe a little malts and biscuits.
Taste is also nothing special, more malts, a little thin. Easy enough to drink, but overall doesn't bring a lot to the table.

If you've had Two Beer's 20:20 Blonde Ale, you'll immediately recognize the same yeast footprint in this amber. And if you didn't much care for it in 20:20, you won't cheer too heartily for it here.

Immersion has a grain of malt sugar to the nose, and its bittering is more prominent than one might expect or desire. But its taste doesn't qualify as "clean" in that the malts are less emphasized than yeast components, and the bittering is far more charged than the listed 36 IBU suggest. Perhaps cereal tannins potentiate the total bittering experience.

Immersion is otherwise a thin, undercarbonated saffron colored ale. But the yeasts feel like they're elbowing their way angrily to the fore. They even leave residues in a pint glass - an unusual characteristic for a draught beer.

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a lovely copperish-amber with a thick, strong head that crowned above the top of the glass and had decent retention which in turn left a moderate amount of lacing.

Typical Amber aromas, biscuity malt with a slight hop tang. The flavors were also typical for the style, again biscuity malt profile with a nice hop tang at the end.

Body was, again, typical. Full but not thick, smooth but not bland. Nicely drinkable, if you're in the mood for the style. Overall, an average Amber ale. If you like Alaskan Amber or Fat Tire, you'll like this, although I find this to be slightly superior to those brews. Worth trying if you see it.

Had this one in a little glass. This beer has noticeable flaws in it, somewhat metallic and cardboard flavors pushing through the faint hop presence. The mouth-fell was awkward and watery. I would not seek this one out. This is not a taste of seattle.
