I generally don't care much for ambers, but I've stated on several occasions that Troegs makes a grat amber that I enjoy. I picked up this one since I had a gift cert and a lot of session beer on hand and wanted to try some new stuff. Pours clear, reddish brown color. Classic, lightly malted amber taste, gentle hop bittering with a lot of fruit notes, mostly melon, finishing with a lingering but easy-going hop bitter. Low carbonation makes it a smooth drinker, but I'd like a little more carb to try to cut through the body a bit more. The imperial body is a little too thick for an amber, I think. I could sit a drink a couple of these, but I think I'd get full after that.
