Intresting story behind the name, you'll have to ask while in the tap room.

a-nice amber color with inch head and lively carbonation.

s-biscuts, some hops, and bready aromas.

t-has good crisp malts, biscut, and good hops behind it all. I agree, that this is more complex then your average amber ale. Has a refreshing taste to it.

m-clean and crisp, with some decent body.

o-glad they brewed this again. Have not had this for years. Good pilot brew with some good qualities.

Pours a amberish golden with a thick cream colored head. Aroma is doughy, some caramel, and even slightly fruity. Flavor was impressive for an amber; doughy, caramel, a hint of some toffee, a little fruity, and a kiss of some hops in there as well. A medium bodied, some activity, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Overall, a very nice take on an amber. I kinda wonder why they went with Levity over this as their bottled amber. Both are quite good but I think this one is actually better.

On tap during the 2011 Small Batch Festival.

Pours a deep dark mahogany copper with mahogany edges and frothy 2 finger yellowish head.  Excellent retention slowly fading into a lasting cap that leaves chunks of lacing behind.


Slightly toasted malt aroma with hints of light fruit,caramel,  toffee and biscuit.  Smells more complex than your average amber.  

Full bodied with a creamy texture and a good balance of toasty malt and subtle hop bite.  Toasted but not burnt with hints of light fruit and floral hops.  Sweet with slight dry finish.
