In Houston with family trying out a beer that I brought from Georgia. Appears orange coming out of the can. Once in the glass it was more of a red copper in color with some haze. Very short and quick lived head. Aroma was surprisingly sour and unpleasant. Flavor is much better. Sweet, soft, with strong notes of a lightly bitter salt water caramel toffee. Mild roasted malt adds to the finish along with a breath of bitter aftertaste. This is a delicious beer, but I am not getting any bourbon or vanilla that is supposed to be the main characteristics. Even the 7.5% alcohol is hidden. I love Amber's and will gladly drink several more of these but the rating is going to suffer from these missing components.
