Ah, finally something at least a little different! Now, amber ales are like brown ales in my experience, in that you never really know what they're going to throw at you. They mainly group together by their hue, less by any sort of flavor profile. Anyway, it's La Quince, so Roots is well worth checking out for what it has to offer.
It spills out in in a coppery river, with the head seeming dark at first but ending up a very light beige. The aroma is very subtle, but vaguely hoppy bitter. The taste doesn't take much from the smell, being more appley sour. There's a little bitter in the aftertaste, just washing down the fall fruit. It has a sharpness and spiky personality that grabs your attention as you drink. It's not as festive as some more piney ales or sweeter amber ales, but it's a good time and a hearty beer.
