May 13, 2008 Taster - Hopworks Urban Brewery - Portland, OR
Aroma – Nice malt and hops balance in the nose.
Appearance – Golden yellow in color, Nice head and clear.
Flavor – Easy drinking Ale with a good flavor nicely balanced.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, great texture with a good dry finish.
Overall – A very nice everyday beer for the masses. There was plenty of flavor and some can get the floral flavors and not to over powering in any one area.

Mar 26, 2008 On tap at HUB. Tastes like the pale ale on steriods. Poured a brilliant amber with some alcohol in the nose. Well balanced malt/bitterness. Some lingering bitterness. A great beer!

Feb 4, 2008 Tap... Poured a beautiful ruby with a great white head, nice lacing. Well hopped with high carbonation. Crackers and grain up front which lead through to maybe caramel and oak and includes a mild malt balance. Sharp hop finish with a little kick.

Feb 1, 2008 On tap at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, Oregon--Poured a deep orange-amber body with hues of copper-gold. Small rocky whitish head. Very delectable fruity, floral, hoppy nose with a crispy, sweet English yeasty vibe. One of the finest examples of what I love about beers here. I recommend this beer very highly!

Jan 27, 2008 On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Described as a double red ale by the bartender. Pours a deep rich red, very clear, with a soft off-white head. Very fruity hop aroma, floral and crisp. Not sure on the abv on this, but extremely sessionable. The hops just boast their pacific NW street cred, saying "love me or move back to Molson country jerk". All around solid beer, balanced in that PNW sense.
