Looks red with a little depth to it. The smell is chalky and yeasty but in a unappealing way, the malt is buried in there some where. The taste is a little better sweet malt and a hint of noble hops but the aftertaste is chalky and a touch rancid. Decent mouthfeel, but not really drinkable, maybe they will try this over and make it better.

Serving type: on-tap

Amber seems to be one of Leopold's beers that is always on tap. Tasted on May 11 in a pint-sized glass. Pour is reddish-brown, amber if you will. Pretty clear, visibility through the glass. Little head and no lacing to speak of. There is a lot of yeast on the nose (pretty typical of L.B's beers.) A lot of fruity sweetness as well. Some malt too. Not very balanced. Taste is relatively full and bold. Malty with a bit of yeast present. The aftertaste is sweet and a bit dry or chalky. Mouthfeel is pretty normal. Not terribly carbonated, not a lot of presence. On the whole this is not a bad beer. Better than most I've tried at this place. It's not terrible to sip if you are just hanging out with friends at Leopold Brothers. Nothing spectacular though.
