The Amber ale from Full Sail in Oregon is a true original, a benchmark in a hotbed of micro-brewing. Dark russet in color, this beer seems tailor-made for sweater weather. True to the hyper-hoppy style of the Pacific Northwest, citrusy Cascade and Mt. Hood hops add distinctive resinous pungency to a toasty, hazelnut nose. Carefully layered malt flavors range the full spectrum from pale to dark, like a perfectly balanced chocolate chip cookie . This beer delivers tremendous flavor and finesse in a medium-bodied brew suitable for everyday drinking.
