Hazy copper with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, pine, light caramel. Taste is pine, medium sweet, light floral, nice hoppy. Medium body. Damn impressive amber!

Sampled at the ’09 Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival. Amber colored beer with a thin beige head. Nose of wet bread, peach pits and and almost celery green. Some peach and pear fruitiness with some wet grains and a grassy finish. Not very interesting.

From growler, Fruity bitter nose, carmel comes to mind. Hazy reddish orange color. small to no head. Sweet flavors. Carmel, lite butter. Thin body, dry bitter finish. Tasty enough, nice bitterness in finish. Had this as part of tour of brewery. Brewer said cascade hops and sierra nevada yeast.

Chill-hazed appearance with very little head. Amber colour and a rich caramel malt aroma. Flavour is also well balanced between malt and hops. Generous dose of Pacific Northwestern hops with pine and juniper aromas appearing. Nicely bitter finish and a well-crafted beer, although I’d be tempted to call this an APA rather than the normally non-descript amber.
