Good, but not amazing Ale
Nice flavor, but it's not long lasting at all. I love a beer that I can still savor after the swallow. This Ale is not long lasting at all. That said, it is still a very good tasting beer and is a perfect match for a hot summer afternoon after mowing the lawn in the the sun. Nice citruice and floral notes, but only moderate levels that are not over powering.
light hop/malt
Appearance: Amber in color
Aroma: nutty little caramel
Flavor: taste really good...it has a hint of the caramel note with a LIGHT hop finish. Nothing crazy
Mouthfeel:smooth light light bitter coffee finish
Overall Impression: for a introduction to a amber beer its really good. once again if you are starting a new beer path..this is one beer to start.
