[1111-20080217] Tap @ Elysian Fields (Seattle, WA). Fruity twinged yeast aroma has a hint of cheddar cheese. Hazy, brown orange body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Cheddar notes continue in flavour along with toasted malt and strong bitter hops. Raspy medium body has a bit of a kick. Nice. (Funny rating number!)

Jun 29, 2008 Deep amber beer, white head. Aroma is very fresh and hoppy. Loaded with grapefruit, pine and tropical fruitiness. There is a bit of resinous bitterness on the back with just a hint of woodiness. Quite a nice pale ale, probably bordering on IPA territory, not that I’m complaining.

Jun 26, 2008 On tap at the Blind Tiger. Lightly hazy orange in color with a small well retaining off white head with alot of sticky lace. Aroma: alot of tropical fruits, orange, and light mango/pineapple with toasted malts and caramel. Taste is alot of tropical fruits, with a nice toasted malt/caramel backbone. A nice moderate bitterness throughout. Very nice.

Jun 25, 2008 Tap at blind tiger. One of the more solid beers of the night. Pours a nice clean looking light to medium bright orangey amber with a thin lasting head and nice lace. Aroma is nice and citrusy, tons of tropical fruits and nice nutty toasty maltiness. Flavor is clean and smooth- nice hop and malt balance, clean sweet caramel malts, some medium burnt toast, and nice citrus, torpical and grapefruit hops. Solid APA.
