COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is the Redhead’s little sister, Amber. She’s light and refreshing, with a great malty-grain and hop flavor balance. With a crisp and refreshing citrus-like note in the middle, you’ll be making excuses to spend some more time with this attractive lady.

On tap 14 Sep 12 from growler it poured amber hue w/ a small white head, somewhat lasting and fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt of grain & hay along with flowery hop aromatics and an earthy yeast. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Light sweetness & a light bitterness at the end. Lacked the carmel notes I would expect in an amber, but it did a wonderful job of balancing the malt and hop.

Pour on tap at the brewery, reddish pour with thin white head, aroma brought notes of caramel, toffee, some slight bready malts, hints of grass and herbal tones, very slight toasted malts, pretty plain overall and fairly sweet smelling. Taste is decent, some caramel and toffee with a hint of bread, some slight grass, hints of earth, hints of toast, finishing fairly sweet.

adnielsen (10169) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - NOV 30, 2011
UPDATED: JUN 7, 2012 Tap @ brewery. Very clear, dark golden appearance with a white head. Toasty, light caramel malty, dull hoppy aroma. Pretty grassy, herbal hoppy, still caramel malty flavor. Bleh. Update: second time that I had this it was fairly tart and fruity. Tasted infected to me, but the bartender told me that this batch was just a bit "fruitier".

potbeerjob (1343) - Denver, Colorado, USA - NOV 8, 2009
Tasting at All Colorado Beer Festival. Orange amber. Aroma is floral with lot of spice and malts. Flavor reminds me of a more floral and spicy Fat Tire. Good balance throughout. Bitter through middle but ends a little sweet malty.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy, light amber color. Small off white head, which diminishes quickly. Hoppy aroma. Balance of hop and malt flavor. Avg duration. Slick texture. Soft carbonation. No lacing.

Headbanger (3556) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - JAN 13, 2009
Draught at Brewery(10/7/08)-Pours a light amber body with a small covering for a head. Aroma of malt. Flavor the same with a little hops thrown in. This light to medium bodied brew had a mild bitterness for a finish. Overall this was not my favorite and was a bit lacking.

RSRIZZO (1902) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - OCT 19, 2008
Had on draught at Rocky Mountain Brewery. Aroma is a light roasted malt scent. Color a clear amber with almost no carbonation and no head. Starting with a lighter medium body it goes down with a bland feel. Finish comes in with a mellow malt flavor followed by a mild bitterness. Carbonation was very low and left it a little bland, I will rerate it next time I am there.

BeerandBlues2 (10930) - San Diego, California, USA - SEP 24, 2008
Draught. Pours amber with an average, fizzy, white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, hay, straw, cereal, meal), average hops (flowers, grass), average yeast (sweat, earth) with notes of apples. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
