spikester (438), Salem, Oregon, USA Oct 2, 2008 From a growler filled today. Amber color with a modest head and lacings. Floral, fruity aroma. Taste is bitter orange with a malt profile that barely supports the hops. Hops are bitter, somewhat piney, and quite fresh tasting. Some earthiness in the palate. Decent APA, very drinkable. skoisirius (480), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 19, 2008 On tap at the brewery. Good stuff. Pours almost a deep golden brown with orange hints. Very light aroma mainly consisting of fairly sweet malts. Flavor is inviting, and gets right into the pale aspect of things right away. Almost a burnt hop flavor exists, but its good, and draws you back for more. VERY piney - the body, the finish, the flavor. Burnt pine...yes, and then sour pine towards the finish that lingers (I’m noticing they’re good at finishes here). Good stuff, wonder how it is bottled. glkaiser (999), Seattle, Washington, USA Apr 3, 2008 12oz bottle. Light amber with small head. Fresh c hop aroma. Taste is solid malts with light bitterness. Refreshing. Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 1, 2008 Poured a copper-amber body with a small but frothy white head. Nose of crisp floral hops. Bitter, crisp, and robust finish. Mild but very flavorful. CapFlu (3340), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Nov 11, 2007 (Bottle) Sampled at The Stumbling Monk in Seattle on October 20, 2007. Thin, dissipated almond-coloured head with an orange body. Nose of great pine. Flavour is beautiful. Nice pine bitterness.
