From the Portland Street market in Klamath Falls, a little hidden away gem for craft beer. Pours a deep dark color that shows red behind a flashlight, with a moderate off- white head and decent lacing. Nose is caramel malts and light citrus and floral hops. . Medium body and smooth clean mouthfeel. Flavor is malts with some bitterness that carries over into the finish. Decent amber.

bomber, clear deep red, great aroma and appearance. taste was ok but was expecting deeper flavor with deeper color.

650ml bomber pours amber in color with a 2 finger off-white head that leaves some decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is light toasted malts with hints of chocolate and fruit. Taste is caramel malty sweetness with hints of chocolate and spice and a decent hop bitterness. Medium body and adequate carbonation. Good quality brew and easy to drink. Quite enjoyable.

This is a good well rounded red. It does fit between the Amber and Brown continuum, more toward Amber. Good maltiness, mellow, with slight bitter end

Bottle:   Deep amber, burnt orange hues, almost coppery, moderate to large foamy sand colored head, fairly decent lacing.   Oddly enough, pale chocolate malt nose.   A little barnish and musty hay like.   Pale chocolatey malts up front, some hop bitterness, not real malty.   Feels like a Pale Ale with a bit of Chocolate malt or something in it.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Yeah, more of a Pale Ale with some chocolate type malt in there.   Not bad, pleasant, a little different from what I expected.   Decent.

Clear red with a taupe head. The flavor is only slightly malty - i expected a lot more for this style. From the sampler at KBB, and it was nice to move on to the next one.

I enjoyed everything but the after taste. I suppose after a few though, I could get used to it.

On tap @ Bailey’s Taphouse, Portland. Deep amber/brown with a medium beige head. Aroma of citrus, nuts, caramel and pine. Flavor is toasty malt and caramel with a firm hop bitterness. Medium body with average carbonation and a smooth mouth feel. Good beer almost a cross between a amber, brown and IPA.

22 oz. bottle sent in a trade from Hayduke. A clear medium brown beer that has a nice tall soapy light tan head that leaves some cool lacing. A nice creamy feel. A rich malty aroma with subtle fruit. Flavor is quite pleasant. Very nice citrus fruit with that toasty and nutty malt. This is also nicely hopped with some grapefruit tartness and bitterness that is in just the right dose. Throw in just a dab of cocoa. This was nicely crafted.

~Pours a deep clear amber with big creamy lasting off white head. Beautiful! ~Chocolate in the aroma along with bread and light caramel, spicy earthy hop in background. ~Roasty malt character in flavor with earthy spicy hops, biscuity. ~Med full body, med CO2, lingering spicy hop finish. ~Pretty decent amber. Probably up the caramel malt to help balance out the lingering bitterness

Nano Festival – Portland OR 2010
Reddish in color, clear with a thin head. Nice malt aroma light with hops. This was a well balanced brew. Light fruit flavors and dry finish. A easy drinking Amber ale.
