COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Belgian amber named after the Gem City (Dayton’s Nickname). Touch of dark roasted malts give this beer its characteristic color. Slight malt flavor is balanced by generous hops.

Draft to taster at Toxic. Looks solid; a transparent pale copper with eggshell head. Smells malty and toasty with notes of Belgian yeast. Tastes like it smells with some sweetness and a medium-bodied mouthfeel. Not bad.

Draft at the brewery. Pours very cloudy medium brown with a smooth, fizzy beige head. Tastes like sweet malt, light raisin, light citrus, grassy with light booze. Medium body and low carbonation. Smells grassy, like dried fruits and lemon. Slightly tart and boozy.

Taster on tap at the brewery. Labeled 6.9% (!); and 76 IBU..! Judging from the menu, looks like I’m in for a red IPA! Mostly hazy red orange amber color. Thin off-white head. Little ropes and splotches of lace. Medium to bigger body, lightly slick. Smooth, soft, lighter carbonation. Moderate sweet taste, more sweet than expected. Again, some belgian aromas. Tasting much more like a belgian than a red IPA, absolutely not a red IPA.. Toffee, burnt sugars. Some light citrus, kind of spicy. Decent belgian amber, with a bigger, complex aroma and a nice aftertaste, but it doesn’t really do much for me, nothing special. Didn’t get halfway through my taster. I guess belgians aren’t my style.

Draft sample. Poured clear dark amber color with medium white frothy head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Medium to heavy toasted sweet malt and hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet bitter flavor with a medium sweet bitter finish of moderate to long duration. Very solid brew.
