A: crystal clear; mahogany in color; 1 finger khaki head that receded to a wispy cap; very nice lacing;
S: bittersweet chocolate for a moment, then roasted grain; a little coffee comes in at the end; a little spicy;
T: coffee is predominant from start to finish; some roasted grain and cherry in the background; mild bitterness on the finish;
M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; lightly dry finish;
O: perfect beer to drink in front of a fireplace;

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle stamped 01/08/14-3353-B. Sampled on March 29, 2014.
It looks very nice with its chestnut brown pour and quick-lived white head. Decent clarity. Yup, it is an amber ale by the way it looks.
But after that it is fairly routine with an aroma of caramel malts and clean hops. Nothing extraordinary but nothing bad.
Mostly medium body so that it something. Acidity too.
The taste has a toasted biscuit malt character and halfway decent bitter hop finish. But everything about this is pretty routine as far as amber ales go. If you like ambers you will find it appealing, If you don 't, you won't. This is one of those beers that is brewed to be served to the masses who visit a particular business...in this case - Jay Peak Ski Area of Vermont. The average person will go away from there saying, "Wow! they have their own beer." But it is nothing you can't get elsewhere.
