UPDATED: SEP 26, 2021 On tap at the Plattsburgh Brewing Company in Plattsburgh. Pours clear amber with orange highlights and a tiny white head and lots of clinging lacing. Aroma: brown sugar. Flavor: brown sugar, nuts, raisins, toast, black pepper. Mouthfeel: light- to medium-bodied.

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2021 12oz bottle. Pours, well amber of course with a white head. Caramel notes overshadowing some more subtle citrus. Overall decent but pretty basic amber ale.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2021 12oz bottle gifted by coworker and consumed from a large snifter glass. Color aligns with the names with relatively minimal head. Aroma is caramel, malt, and mild grassy notes. Taste brings in similar characteristics from the nose with caramel and toffee and a good toasty malt element. Nice bitterness rounds it out. All around good beer.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2020 Mostly clear copper with some floaters and an off-white head. Aroma is floral, grassy, and caramel. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter.

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2020 Bottle at Buttonwood golf course. Pours pale to medium amber. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor is mild and malty with subtle hop bitterness. Nice notes of caramel and dried fruit. Medium body. Very slight bitterness on finish.

UPDATED: JUL 18, 2020 What’s not to like about a amber. First taste is very smooth. Even better on tap. Way in the background is a IPA taste. A cloudy amber color. Bells makes good beer and this is one of them.

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2020 12 oz Bottle. Beautiful amber ale. A malt driven mouthfeel topped by a modest head and slight lacing. Slight mango, citrus and esters. A little pear, caramel, toffee. Finishes dry. High carbonation. A nice hybrid ale/lager.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2020 Average frothy offwhite head. Fair lacing. Mostly diminishing. Clear dark-amber body. Aroma: moderate roasted malt, caramel, light hoppy, light tropical fruit, metallic. Initial flavor: moderate sweet light bitter. Final flavor: light sweet bitter; average duration. Palate: light medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, metallic finish. apesar do background maltado, a prevalência é de frutagem lupulada, lembrando, assim como o aroma, frutas tropicais e também não tendo o amargor lupulado de muitas american amber ales que já degustei. Apesar de saborosa, parece descolada do estilo. Toque cítrico comum mencionado nas bjcp aparece, apesar de previsto, destoa também do conjunto do estilo.15 s

UPDATED: MAR 25, 2020 Caramel malt aroma. Little hazy with lots of carbonation and amber as expected. Taste is very smooth, caramel, malts, sweet, wheat at the end. 2 month old bottle and even used it in our chili!

UPDATED: MAR 19, 2020 Bottle. Pours amber red. Big toast, caramel malt aroma. Smooth bready, toffee, toast and malts brew. Its really enjoyable, but the style still lacks some bitterness for me. Give me a German helles or Czech pils if it's gonna be an easy sipper. Still well done for the style.
