2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 degbert (1444) - Austin, Texas, USA - APR 22, 2015
Can. Pours a dark murky amber with a high, sticky, lacy, off-white head. Nose is dates, figs, tea, turbinado sugar, and orange. Bitter up front, with very little sweetness; the tea-like note continues through the tongue, with definite tannic elements present. Reminds me of instant iced tea -- not in a good way. Carbonation is too low. Finish remains tea-like. Not crazy about this one.

Tap at HopDoddy. Pours a clear red orange color with a foamy white head. Aroma is fairly hoppy, good hop backbone with a malty balance. Flavor is also quite hoppy. Bitter dry finish. This is great!

Location: Draft at the San Antonio CIA, 1/24/14
Aroma: The nose is clean and light, with some hop notes, bread, and caramel malts
Appearance: It pours a nice amber color with a beige head and some nice lacework
Flavor: The flavor is similar, light-medium sweet, balanced by a light., clean hop bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, a hint thin, but not super watery, with a solid overall drinkability
Overall Impression:
I thought this one was pretty solid. The nose is a little light, but I thought they overall flavor profile worked pretty well. You could do a lot worse than this clean, balanced, drinkable Amber.

On tap at the Big Texas Beer Fest. Amber with a white head. The aroma and flavor are very similar and are not that exciting. I get some light toffee and biscuit malt notes, as well as a hint of malty sweetness. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not bad, just not too exciting.
