COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Is deep amber in color, full and round, striking a pleasing balance between various hop influences and a big malt body. Great with food, or refreshing on it's own.

Spicy, hop aroma. Red-orange in color. Bitter maltiness much like an ESB...a great beer that was a nice take on the style. I was hungover when i drank this....after this beer, I was able to go to two more brewpubs during my brief stay in seattle during the roady. Extra props!

Good malt nose and taste. Faintly hopped. Not exactly bursting with flavor but I have a soft spot for this one

peppery malt aroma, deep bronze color. a robust hoppy bitterness. Big and smooth, especially for an Amber

This beer is nice and smooth as any good amber should be. The flavor is good, but not outstanding.

A really nice amber, very smooth with a good finish. A beer worth drinking.

The sweet maltiness was balanced perfectly with the hops. A stellar selection from a stellar brewery.

good version of an amber ale, good malt and slightly hoppy nose.
