This 'Amber' Ale is surprisingly light in appearance, almost looking more like a Pale Ale.
The body on the other hand is heavier than it looked in the glass... the false advertising is similar to those 'suck em in' underwear and leggings that women wear. Looks lean at a glance, but once you unwrap the packaging it all hangs out.
But hey, there's nothing wrong with a bit of jiggle.
The feel is almost creamy, but without being 'oily', or watery. It's close to bang on perfect.
The flavour is a bit like those Arnott's malt biscuits, with just a very subtle bitter hop finish. All this does is add a bit of contrast to the beer, and doesn't come at you like Chris Leben in the third round.
This would be a great introductory Amber Ale for those wanting to get in to the craft scene. For me though at this point, it's not enough to really grab me by the throat.
Solid beer, well put together but lacking some punch. Like a Toyota.
7/10
