Kinda like their blond with color. Some malts but very meh. God session brew but not a rich as I would like. Summer ok but go for something not as sweet. Not my fav.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 RHutch (11) - Vista, California, USA - NOV 22, 2014
One of few ambers I like. Not much hops which is good concentrate on malts as this does. Not session but not a barn burner either. Great drinking brew with caramel aftertaste. Best on tap.

"This comes across as a pretty typical american red/amber. Nutty toffee malts and a dash of grapefruit hops. Not enough going on to distinguish itself, and the aroma was pretty weak."

Pours a reddish amber with a small off white head with a little lacing. Aroma is of toasted malts, caramel, sweet malts, and some light grassy hops. Taste is about the same as the aroma with the addition of some light pine and toffee notes. Has a medium body with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and a slightly bitter, medium finish. Overall, a decent, somewhat tasty amber ale.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 Barreras (1324) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - SEP 21, 2013
Pours a copper color with a light malt aroma. Taste is mild sweet caramel, with a malt flavor. A clean smooth amber beer with a no aftertaste.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 JohnnyJ (4997) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 14, 2012
Draft at the brewery. Reddish amber, slight haze and small off white head. Caramel malts, a bit sweet, light bread, and light to medium citrus hop bitterness. Thin body. Pretty boring like most ambers.

On tap. Pours with a hazed copper hued body with a white head. Aromas are of mild yeast, appley, sweet, caramel, light grassy notes. Flavors show an odd bit of cheesy yeasty note (think Roquefort Blue), caramel malt, bready, caramelized with a low bit of butterscotch. Some apple esters. Sort of like a caramelized apple. Lively bubbles, thin and dry.

Draught @ Grubbys, Oceanside, CA

On tap @ R. OSullivans. On barkeeps recommend, we tried this one in nonic pints. Pleasantly surprised at the complexity and lively hop character. Hard to pin-point particulars, beside bready caramel malts and citrus hops. Cloudy appearance, which I like. A very, very tasty beverage. Will have to try it again.
