Feb 3, 2009 Thanks to Boltz7555 for the bomber. Pours a nice deep amber color with a thick off white head. Crisp sweet malt aroma with a nice biscuit malt and earthy slightly bitter hop aroma. Taste is crisp and bitter, very drinkable. Has a nice biscuit malt body and hints of citrus hops. I found this to be a nice session bitter.

Feb 1, 2009 Bottle. Had a big citrus nose with of grapefruit and bitterness. Flavor was just a little rough with toasted malt and pine resin. I make it sound more rough that it really is but I had big hopes for this brew. Decent drinkable beer but not worth another purchase in my eyes.

Jan 19, 2009 Slightly hazy copper amber. Fuggly earthy elements combine with light fruit and caramel to deliver a faithful rep of the style. Well done, and kudos for not trumping this nicely finessed beer with a boatload of in-your-face northwest hops!

Jan 18, 2009 Pours a translucent reddish amber with a medium creamy off white head that laced. Aroma was floral, orange peel, toffee, nuts and some caramel. Flavor of caramel, some citrusy and floral notes from the hops, toffee and toasted grains. Overall on the lighter side for aroma and flavor but still a solid brew!

Jan 14, 2009 color is orange and slightly translucent but still cloudy enough to draw intregue. aroma is of biscuit malt, spice, a touch esthery alcohol. mouthfeel is the winner here, which is where often inferior beers of the style fall short. spicy and effervescent, reminscent almost of a good marzen, the flavor lingers and coats just enough to keep this from the dilution often associated with some english pales and ESBs. a great solid and substantial beer.

Jan 12, 2009 Bottle from FlacoAlto, thanks! Amber color. Red berries, earthy hops and a hint of biscuit in aroma and flavor. Just a tad thin. Solid hopbitter aftertaste with berries. Tasty ale.
