This used to be a 6.0% in the 90s and early 2000s. This beer has much more pizzaz. The loss of this great beer is actually one of the most memorable. I will say the same for Black Butte Porter and Obsidian Stout. I do agree that we may be too obsessed with the bigger is better, but these are significant losses.

So great in flavor, and still holds up to much of the latest popular crafts.DOSiRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406354869646971733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-82020401707564590062009-03-18T13:10:00.000-07:002009-03-18T13:10:00.000-07:00Jeff, I completely agree.

(OK, that's an exaggerated blanket statement, but you get my point). FS Amber is a classic and is an incredibly food friendly beer. It’s only in a place of beer abundance like Portland where a beer like this could get overlooked as often as it Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-40634847511857908132009-03-18T12:14:00.000-07:002009-03-18T12:14:00.000-07:00I remember very vividly thinking how 'extreme' amb...I remember very vividly thinking how 'extreme' amber was when it came out - it was almost too much. Strange to think about how our tastes evolve so radically that I now think it entirely mild. Interesting to see that many others have the same experience.Patrick Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242234148546323374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-8272048628910017442009-03-18T11:58:00.000-07:002009-03-18T11:58:00.000-07:00Thanks Jeff, for a great post on how a "regular be...Thanks Jeff, for a great post on how a "regular beer" can be a revelation. I have two thoughts:<BR/><BR/>1. I'm very happy to live during a time, and in a place where really good beer is generally available.<BR/><BR/>2.
