Crisp, smooth and perfectly balanced between a west coast style pale and amber ale, with a supple malt sweetness and a pronounced hop flourish.

3.2Sample at GABF 2013. Pours clear golden with a medium off white head. Aroma of grapefruit, citrus, malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation.
3.6Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has a beautiful deep amber color with good clarity. Its head builds up to a nice white 2 inch collar of foam. This head slowly fades but keeps a small covering to the end and on the way down the glass it leaves some spotty slick lace.
Smell: It has a light aroma with a mild bready and caramel sweetness. Hop notes are very faint and distant.
Taste/Palate: On the tongue I get a bready and caramel character with a touch of fruity sweetness and some raw grain towards the finish. A slight floral and earthy hop presence gives it a snappy balanced finish. With its medium body and balanced carbonation it is an easy drinker.
Notes: Overall its nice average Amber Ale with great drinkability.
4.2Yes. Crisp fresh pleasant nice hops over sunset mood amber. Brilliant beer. Hops don't linger, dry up perfectly on the tongue. Fun pour. From total wine az.
3.112oz bottle. Pours a clear amber/copper color with one finger of foamy white head.that last a good while nice lacing. Aroma of mostly caramel malt, and some floral hops. Taste has a sweet fruitiness, caramel malt, and floral hops.
3.3This is a pretty mild, copper beer. Medium bodied. bready with a tinge of citrus flavor.
3.1Not a bad ale. Very hoppy and easy to drink. First one I have had from the brewery. Not too bitter.
2.6Pale copper with small head and ok lacing. Lemon herbal smell with malt sweetness. Some semi sweet malt up front lemon then herbs finish with some bitterness and an astringency I don't like. Enticing but ultimately fails for me because of astringency and lemon pledge taste.
2.7Pours pale amber with poor and lacing. Smell is floral an herbal. Taste is balance between malt and hop with some astringency on the end. Not great.
3.1Bottle from WIne Source, Baltimore. Amber with a big, frothy, off-white head. Peaches and tangerines aroma, with a touch of floral hops. Solid, sweetish malt flavours, with more fruit and a dryish finish. Ok.
3.2From a bottle. Fairly strong malty hoppy balance. Pretty harsh though. Could use some sweetness to balance it out. More than I was expecting but probably wouldn’t get again.
3.3A solid beer. I don't know if I could drink a six pack, per se, but definitely an enjoyable single pour.
3.7Bottle - average size thick head, medium copper color, fruity (apple?) hop aroma and flavor, balanced well with sweet malt
3.4First rating. Clear copper colour. Fluffy head with nice thickness and many bubble sizes. Creamy in the centre, bubbly against the glass.
I'm a bit stuffed up but the aroma seems to be bright and clean with malt and baguette-like bready notes. There's a mineral water thing there too.
Taste is light for the colour and a little thin up front, with a crisp hit of quenching bitterness. Malt comes through but stops before becoming sweet. Hops are there but overall the finish is medium-short. Easy to guzzle, but there's enough going on at the end of the gulp to stand out.
2.5Decent. The nose is citrus and floral hops with a touch of bread. The beer is golden, a little light for an amber ale, with a white cap. Bitter with floral and citrus notes. Crisp finish. More like a pale ale or blonde than an amber ale.
3.0Hazy dark copper with a thin foamy head. Smells like a faintly grassy pile of amber and crystal malts. Taste is pretty crystal malty and a little toffee with that typical somewhat-overdone amber flavor, but with a nice delighhtful dry-hopped flavor of some grassy tones. It’s all kinda light, even the dry hopping flavor. But it all kinda works out as a nice, easy going, no frills brew. Tasted really "session" even though it’s 6%
3.0Just ok. Nothing fabulous. Still drinkable. Listed as a hop session beer, yet not hoppy, but low alcohol
3.3Copper pour with thin head. Nose of caramel and toffee. Taste is hoppy and fades quickly. Carbonated palate with a thin finish. Decent flavors for a low abv beer.
3.3Light, brown, clear pour with 2 finger head in the SA pint glass. Sweet, malt in the nose. A little nutty, syrupy sweet. Med body but the flavor sticks around. Almost coats the inside of the mouth with sweetness. First impression was ok, but it gets better the further you get. Birthday beer #2. 071712
3.4Bottle. Copper pour with a short, foamy tan head. Aroma is rather malty with lots of caramel, earthy hops and tea leaves. Taste is chewy malt, caramel, toffee notes, floral notes, earthy hops and soft, spicy hops. Body is medium and slightly chewy with a moderate, creamy carbonation. Ends with more earthy and spicy hops, toffee, tea leaves, caramel and malt notes.
3.7Pours a clear orange yellow. Taste is well balanced with hops and a good malty backbone. Finish is crisp.
2.6355mL to flute
Smells like straw, caramel malts, and a bit of sourness. Clear amber with a nice 1cm long lasting tan head. A bit of hay in the taste, bitterness and slight sourness at the end.
3.5Pours a rather murky deep gold with a thin bit persistent head and some lacing. Aroma is sweet - almost too sweet - caramel malt. Very malty body, slight staleness, lightly sour but pleasantly bitter hops in the finish. Reminds me a bit of an ESB. Light carbonation, chewy body. Almost... But not quite quaffable.
2.2Bottle. Stale malty aroma. Hazy orange amber with a large beige head. Burnt toast and sugar flavor with a light bitter hop finish. Light to medium body. Not particularly bad, but not especially enjoyable either.
2.8Shimmering but strangely hazy ruddy copper body with a bad case of the the sea-monkeys. Carbonation is very fine managing only a thin, tight and flabby off-white head that is depleting. Peanut husks, toffee and butterscotch, teabags and orange marmalade on the nose, phenolic and sweet. Its got a raw character to it in the mouth. Very yeasty, doughy, milky with a roasted malt note and husky, grainy backend. Sharp, acrid bitterness on the finish that has a touch of smoky, bandaid phenolics. Body is medium light, oily, with light carbonation. A developing citrus note plays in late into drinking. Nothing much here. A few off characters, but all in check. It’s just kind of bland really!

3.2This was a pretty malty offering from He’Brew (for an amber). The body was brown and with a large head, suggested moderate carbonation. Aromas were mellow and fruity with a hint of yeast and bread in the mix. The mouth feel was smooth and again, mellow with hints of caramel, toffee and bitter hops. Not bad at all, and incredibly drinkable.
3.2Hmmm...bottle pour. Nose is light caramel/chocolate with some light citrus notes. Taste is pretty similar. Not bad but nothing to write home about...
4.0Citrus aroma with a gold copper appearance. A nice crisp but not bitter grapefruit taste, from theincredible cascade dry hopping. Taste great through to finish. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this kosher brew tastes.
2.8On tap. Poured a pale gold. I had this beer yesterday and honestly don’t remember much about it other than it being average in just about every way. Not bad, but pretty unremarkable.
3.5Draught at Devil Craft. Fruity, metallic nose, hoppy, light citrus. Cherry and metal flavors, light citrus, light caramel, and an interesting fruity gumball aspect. Rather German in malt flavors. Decent.
2.9Clear, light brown color. Modest malt sweetness and roasted malt flavor. Decent, but not unique.
