tap at brewpub-I have had this beer numerous times since i have moved back here. This seems to be a not-so-good batch. I have had this beer sometimes its a hop bomb, but this one was a bit more malty. pours copper hue with a small off-white head (damn chilled glass). Sweet malty biscuty nose with some piney hops. flavors here are along the same lines-sweet malts, earthy/herbal/piney hops and a touch of apple (makes me think the beer is infected). palate is soft and lite. Decent, butt I have had this beer in better condition than this.

Amber and slightly hazy. Mellow cascade aroma. Crisp, some toasty, crackery amber malts. Good, balanced.

Draft @ brewpub. Orange red. No head or lace but nice hue. Aromas and flavors have lots of strawberry, which makes for an interesting balance. There is some weird wood acridity in the finish. ok but disappointing overall.
