COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A mild, pleasant drinking ale with a touch of residual sweetness. Caramel and chocolate specialty malts are combined with premium northwest 2-row malted barley to create a light amber colored wort. We add just enough hops for a delicate bitterness, subdued hop flavor and a nice aroma. Fermentation with our house yeast creates a nice English style ale which every beer drinker loves.

Cloudy amber pour topped by a huge rocky white head. The nose is softly hoppy and a little bit earthy/herbal character. The malts are a little bit earthy and slightly oxidized as well. Sort of lightly sweet with a touch of soft sweetness. It’s okay, but definitely not great.

cmonster (611) - Portland, Oregon, USA - NOV 14, 2010
Bottle served in a shaker. Pours clear honey gold in color with a short-medium sized off-white head. Decent retention. Aroma is a mild: cereal, grass, and salt. Sweet, soft-malty flavor, Medium body, good carbonation, cricky texture. A slight bitterness comes thru and stay to the end. Almost like a light English bitter or pub ale. Some salt on the finish as well. Middle of the road.

brenn79 (858) - Idaho, USA - MAY 15, 2010
12 oz. bottle- Pours golden to amber with little head, aroma is mild grass and some hops but overall very subdued. The taste is a mild inoffensive pale ale, boring yet drinkable, the hops are well balanced with the malt.
