Our lightest in terms of alcohol comes in at 4.8% by volume so that malt can dominate the flavor profile. Caramel sweet malt all over the palate with a noticeable “jumping just over the barrier” citrus hop aroma. Surprisingly refreshing for such a malt driven ale. Truly an all season American Amber.

pretty good amber. dark opaque color with little to no head, deep caramel color. smell and feel are ok, typical of the style, but the taste is strong and excellent quality.

Malt dominates in this beer, dark amber/brown with beige creamy head. Aroma is caramel, sweet malt. Taste is similar, smooth and rich with nice silky mouthfeel. Nicely done.

Chill hazed red colored ale with a small tan to light brown colored head.
Smells hoppy and woody with lots of caramel and malt scent too. Toffee and citrus with a little chocolate cake scent.
Starts out malty and a little sweet. Hard water taste with a mild caramel flavor. Tasty but not super complex.
Mouthfeel is good.
Overall this is a pretty good version of what you could call a middle of the road ale. Tasty and refreshing this is the sort of beer that goes with everything and is good for anytime of year.
