12 oz. can picked up in Toledo. Pours a clear amber color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have some toasted malts, caramel, light nutty character, thin, boring, basic amber that is below average to average at best. Tickers gotta tick.

Can bought at Champanes,
this ale had a amber pour with a shade of brown at the sides of the glass with a little haze, and it gave a one finger faint of-white head that receded to a thin ring, there were a few spots of lacing that rolled off,
the nose had aromas of light toasted malt with some bread and caramel like notes, a little earth, some malt sweetness and very little hops,
it had toasted malt and caramel flavors with a light hop bitterness, and a light to medium malt sweetness,
the finish had a light bitterness with some malt following,
the mouth feel was light and was a little creamy with average carbonation,
a ok amber beer.

12oz can. Light brown pour with a foamy, off white head. Dry biscuit aroma with some hints of caramel malts. Big malty taste with a presence of nuts and caramel. Mostly sweet throughout with a hint of bitter fruit in the finish. Well carbonated and medium bodied. Nothing stands out about this but definitely drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 superspak (3627) - Michigan, USA - AUG 20, 2014
12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/9/2014. Pours moderately hazy reddish copper color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, biscuit, light nuttiness, raisin, plum, herbal, light chocolate, and toast/yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light-moderate fruity yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, biscuit, light nuttiness, raisin, plum, herbal, light chocolate, and toast/yeast earthiness. Slight earthy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, biscuit, light nuttiness, raisin, plum, light chocolate and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity and robustness of dark/bready malt and light-moderate yeast ester flavors; with no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and fairly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with no warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice amber ale. Good robustness and complexity of dark/bready malt and light-moderate fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 beerbuzzmontreal (3488) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 7, 2007
Clear copper pour with a thin white head. Weak aroma and flavor of nuts, yeah, thats all. The body is light with an oily texture and lively carbonation.
