Mild Nose that was slightly fruity and hoppy. Pours a more orange than amber with some white head. Medium mouthfeel that work nice with a very smooth finish and god carbonation. Flavor was not as hoppy as i like my amber's. With that being said is was a very pleasant beer that was not short on flavor. Mild hops with some good sweetness. Malt backbone with a tiny bit of citrus on the finish.. Good Beer!

The color of stained cedar. The aroma is very faint. The flavor has a very distant caramel. There’s not a whole lot going on in this beer. This is definitely their gateway beer.

The Switchback Amber poured a copper-orange with a frothy off-whiet head that had nice lacing and good retention. It looked very similar to an Octoberfest.
The aroma was of light, grassy hops with some citrus tones.
The taste was very sweet malt up front (a little too sweet) with some caramel and slight citrus. It had a slight bitter, earthy finish.
It was medium bodied and very drinkable. Overall, I thought it was a nice amber. It had and interesting, appealing sweet flavor with an IPA-like aroma.
