Draft: Poured a reddish brown with an off white colored head. The aroma was light and almost nonexistent, not unpleasant just lacking. Taste is a mix of malts and yet balanced with some light hop.

On tap at the brewpub in Bellingham. Amber in the glass, decent head and mild carbonation. Aroma is elusive and understated. Taste is much better with some woody and citrus hops working together well. Malt is well worked and offers good counter-point. Despite not being a big amber fan I quite liked this one.

Amber’s are not my usual style, but this is exceptional. The flavor profile is well balanced and finishes with a hint of dryness. Not too sweet, just right.

On tap at Collins pub. Pours cloudy orange brown with minimal beige head. Aromas of floral and citrus hops. Standard amber with a decent balance of malt and hops, but the taste fades quickly.

What a disappointment. I hear dry hopped, read decent reviews and get this. A semisweet amber with miniml hop profile and brown sugar molases flavor not what I was expecting or ordeered
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Poured amber with a small white head that laced nicely. Aroma was somewhat coniferous and citric but backed up by a pleasant malt. Taste was similar, although malt and hops combined to be somewhat fruity. Pleasant amber ale.
