The last of our ambers is Full Sail Amber from Oregon, our first beer from the Pacific North West. Full Sail pours out a clear amber to copper with an unusual tinge of orange. The nose is crisp with caramel and mocha and the taste reflects it. It's a slightly chocolaty caramel with crisp hop up front and a tingle throughout. Again a very flavorful amber, crisp refreshing and very balanced. I could really put these down, it's just a delight to drink. A great amber for all occasions. I really thought the Bell's would be my #2, but Full Sail is better. It just has more flavor. So of the ambers the clear #1 is Railbender followed not too far behind by Full Sail and then Bell's. A distant fourth and fifth are Red Rocket then Boont last. Boy three out of the five here are exceptional. That's pretty good. Anyway time to move on to the most recent Sam Adam's sampler.
