COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Amber Ale, which carries the name 1890 Founder’s Ale, is a tribute to the people who first incorporated Grayton Beach. A classic amber ale - balanced malt and hop character.

This amber packs a ton of flavor into a small space. A personal favorite.
- Shank, Head Brewer

Bright brown pour with a moderate tan head. Aroma is slight malt tones, not a strong aroma. Flavor is strong hop bitterness up front, more malt favors after initial taste. Finishes slightly bitter but enough malt to satisfy the amber enthusiast. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

drowland (7106) - Georgia, USA - SEP 3, 2014
9/3/14. 12kz bottle thanks to PorterPounder. Amber pour, a deep brown/red, under a small tan head that fades and laces mildly. Pretty neutral aroma, a dash of caramel and doughy maltiness. Okay flavor as well, nothing awful, just plain maltiness, a hint of bread and caramel. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Pours amber with a small beige head. Smells malty, hints of pine. Taste is malty, caramel, some pine. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and mild mouth-carbonation, Grayton Beer 1890 Founders Ale finishes with a smooth caramel sweetness.

Aurelius (4750) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - APR 4, 2014
Grassy, green amber malt aroma. Standard US longneck, OK label -- Grayton guys, you need to develop that high hammock background - it’s very familiar sight to us here in Florida. Deep, clear, ruddy beer with a respectable head. Dry, acidic and slightly astringent, tannic and pretty hoppy. A general purpose amber ale, but nothing to distinguish it. Thanks to PorterPounder for schlepping this back from his Wild Kingdom travels.
