3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 5000 (6600) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - AUG 11, 2013
Bottle:   Deep caramel, slightly dirty, moderate frothy white head, sparce lacing.   Pale caramel malt, slight toffee, little to no hop.   Soft malty breadiness up front, a touch of caramel/toffee, very little in the
way of hops.   Very pedestrian.   Perhaps being made for Haggen thats a requirement?   Body and mouthfeel are moderate but leaning towards thin.   Finish is quick.   Tiz clean, but very very pedestrian for an Amber.
  Would like to see it with more body and perhaps a touch more bitterness.   The sweetness is there, albeit soft to match the malts.   Meh...

650ml bottle poured brown in color with a small off-white head that left little lacing behind. Aroma is something I cant get a handle on but is quite different. Taste is lightly sour with an underlying malty sweetness and some hop bitterness. Medium body and light carbonation and a decent mouthfeel. An amber ale which is certainly different than any I have tried before. Interesting.

22. Pours a cloudy dark amber with a loose and very short-lived white head. Nice toasty caramelly nose, a little hint of fruity hop in there but indistinct. Creamy medium body with lively carb. Toast, caramel, and a bit of oranges on the mid-palate. Mild finish. Pleasant, refreshing, easy to drink.
