Very good beer. Nice smooth taste and finish. Decent head too. Nutty flavor was enjoyable and clean.

I really like this beer. Great hop and malt flavors and a nice head give this a higher score in my book. Nice deep color and pleasent aroma. Taste is rich and long lasting. Lace is good all the way to the bottom of glass

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.

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!

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

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

Good beer - but nothing exciting
