As good of a brewer as Bear Creek is, I think it takes some real ingenuity to come up with an Amber Ale that is really unique and special. This amber is unfortunately a bit too much like every other Northwest amber around: medium to strong hops and a strong amber malt profile tasting of nothing more than amber malt. Solid, but unexciting.

Bottle pours a mildly hazy amber, medium off-white head that quickly settles to a thin film, virtually no carbonation, with fairly attractive lacing. Mild aroma of roasted malts, and perhaps slight alcohol burn in the nose on big whifs. Heavily malted with burnt malts up front, but also somewhat astringent. Okay body, decent mouthfeel. Finishes rather flat with only mild maltiness. Seems fairly simple & one dimensional.
