    A bright colored amber colored beer. A small, soapy textured, white head rises above. It settles fairly quickly, leaving a moderate ringlet. A pretty straight forward, unimpressive presentation of sweet biscuity malt and grassy hops. It's okay. A well carbonated, moderate bodied, smoothness.

    I am a fan of red or amber ales.. I like them a lot. So I was excited to try this one as my first beer from South Carolina. I don't know if they were going for vegetable extract but they got it... what a mess.

    Smells of vegetables and bread and some ice tea. Pours a amber color with some head that is lasting. Medium body with okay carbonation and the finish is smooth. flavor was vegetable stock and ice tea with some skunk and malt to it.. Not good.

    Sampled from bottle. Pours a bright orange colour with an initially large head that leaves behind quite a bit of lacing. Aroma is semi-nutty, mildly floral hop scent with soft dark fruit notes. Spice, fruit and well integrated hop flavors. A really nice beer overall, my kind of amber for sure. Thanks Louis!

    Color is a nice cloudy golden amber. Aroma is rich and malty, rather jazzy and lively. Flavor is very much like the aroma - mostly malty, with a hint of hop bitterness, plenty of zing and sass. This is a satisfying ale, not spectacular but definitely a delight.

    Pours a hazy amber color with a quickly disappearing head and little lacing. Some carbonation. Aroma is sour fruits and malts with a little hops on the back end. Sour first taste then some malts and a bit of hops in the finish.

    Bottle courtesy of Shag/Clash. Poured a light amber color, thin initial head, a couple rings of lacing, but not much else going on here. The aroma was sour pine cones. The flavor was sour (lemony/citrus) pine cones, dry bitter nuts, butter, and lots of water. In fact, if not for the watery-ness, this thing may have been pretty disgusting. I guess no one reading up to this point is surprised that my comments on mouthfeel are: watery, watery, and watery. Thanks to Matt for hooking me up with this one upon request, only doing what was requested to grab another state!

    I paid half an arm for a pint of this at the Greenville airport, but since I had a half hour to kill, I figured I'd try a new local beer! Poured with not much head at all, but with a nice dark, amber color. Malty with a touch of fruit, and a tad citrus. Very mild hops and finishing without much of anything. An easy beer to drink, and I enjoyed it over their Amber Ale.

    The Red Ale pours a dark amber. There is a touch of caramel malt in the aroma with a tiny hop aroma. There's a mild hop bitterness, but overall there's really not a lot here to keep my interest. I much prefer the Amber Ale over this.

    Pours cloudy reddish-amber with thick, foamy head. The aroma is clean and hoppy, much hoppier than Thomas Creek's Amber Ale. The flavor is well-rounded with a slightly sweet finish. Mouthfeel is a little thin, and I could have appreciated some additional carbonation, but still quite drinkble.

    Sampled from bottle, a gift from Dansting. Pours orange-amber with a faint haze, a thick foamy head and intricate lacing. It's an inviting appearance. Aroma is rich malt with some hop spice. Balanced, malty flavor accented by over-ripe plum and caramel. Medium-light body and lightly carbonated. A very enjoyable, easy-drinking ale.
