COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The capitol building is one of the most recognizable structures in any state, but you’ve never seen one like this. An amber beer with complex flavors of caramel and toffee, this brew is well-balanced, with the aroma and spiciness of a pale ale. Follow the River beneath the dome. Contains no caramel, toffee or spice.

Fatehunter (1766) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - AUG 21, 2015
Pours two fingers of head on a clear dark straw body. The aroma is grain and caramel. Nice. The taste is nicely malty to start, then a good lemon bitterness snakes through to the end. Finishes on a bitter note. Good profile. The texture is medium. A great amber ale. Good malt profile.

bhensonb (12795) - Woodland, California, USA - AUG 9, 2015
Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours bright orangey copper with a beige head. Aroma seems stone fruit over pine. Moderate strength aroma. Med body, or less. Flavor seems pine/citrus with some lightly roasty malt. Maybe a touch of nut. It’s not really sweet like many ambers, and there’s enough hop to make it interesting and mildly bitter. Close to APA.

Oscbert (1160) - Sacramento, California, USA - JUL 12, 2015
Sweet bready caramel aroma with citrus hop. Pours clear cope color with small white head. Bready caramel malt flavor with strong citrusy hop. Medium bodied with medium CO2, lingering hop bitter finish. Enjoyable Amber. Would buy again. There are better American ambers out there, but this one is close ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
