The aroma is full of caramel, malt and hops. The color is dark caramel. The taste is full of caramel, fruits, citrus and flowers. There is minimal head. A really nice beer!

theSlipperyPen (248) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 28, 2014
Where the brewery’s IPA has been massively overrated, this is been underrated. Clear copper-amber pour with a quickly lowing off white head. Nose is reminiscent of a Californian IPA: pine, passion fruit and resinous hops. It’s all blood orange and sweet ginger snaps in the mouth, finishing on marmalade and dried orange peel. The hops are balanced by the malts and make for a more confident and less gimmicky beer than the IPA. Mouthfeel is medium thick with a fine carbonation.

Berries on the nose, light malt sweetness. Amber with a thin head. Nice malty sweetness, with a good fruity overtone. Quite thin bodied and dry in the finish. Nice.

Beautiful amber pour with a lovely head. Mild sweetness and hops hit immediately. Toffee, caramel and palate cleansing hops. Incredible for an Amber and straight into my top 5 local.

Oakes (13660) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 1, 2012
Bottle. Fiery amber colour. Thin head. The aroma has a fair amount of caramel. On the palate, this expresses itself as fresh, chewy crystal malt, backed with moderate bitterness and slightly leafy hops. High quality amber.
