COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
From the first day of the first mash of the first recipe in the first space to this oasis 13 years on the road; We have worked hard to walk in the footsteps of our hero brewers. The Esteemed brewer of California’s best Pale Ale, the Noble Brewer of the planet’s only legal Steam Beer, and Oregon’s Rebel Brewer from Newport. Thirteen years down the road, we have found our own voice as brewers but our admiration for the Great Ones has not dimmed one bit. If we walked well down the hero’s path ourselves, perhaps we too have been an inspiration for others. Beer is a Bronze Age business and we feel honored to have left our footprints on its path into history, at the same time leaving our flavors on your buds. Thanks for your trust over the years and we hope you enjoy this specially brewed Hi-Gravity Auburn offering. Beer Speaks. People Mumble! O.G. 1.085 76.92 IBU

Mellow red ale, not overpoweringly malty. Fruity with a little hops, closer to double IPA than red. Very solid beer.

larsniclas (4988) - Billdal, SWEDEN - OCT 27, 2012
Bottled from Systembolaget Clear golden with a creamy, tan head. Piney and flowery hoppiness in the aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with notes of licorice and salmiak. Flowyer and piney with tropical fruits. Medium bitterness. Oily palate. A bit too alcoholic.

solidfunk (1790) - Ontario, CANADA - OCT 26, 2012
Pours golden with a suddy head - looks a lot like a lager in the beginning. Luckily it gets a lot better from here. Has a lot of caramel flavor and alcohol. Taste has some boozy bitterness and quite a lot of sweetness. Pretty high carbonation. Bottle.

650ml bottle. Pale, slightly hazy amber with white, foamy head. Lots of fruit aroma: orange, apricot, pineapple with molasses and a chewy bread body. Sweet at the front end, but finishes long and satisfyingly bitter. More than medium-bodied, creamy, fizzy and delightful.

RumRunner101 (386) - British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 16, 2012
Light amber pour with aromas of peaches, apricot, grapefruit, cereals. Medium bodied, sticky syrupy mouth feel. Initial flavour is fruity and emerging mid palate is cereals and a bready malt which is when the alcohol becomes apparent and then finishes with a lingering piny/grapefruit bitterness and booze. Some sweetness is noticeable at the finish as well, which I found a little cloying which took away from the other great elements of this beer.

Te aroma is knocking you at the beginning and after that long taste. The taste is still in your mouth a long time after you drank it. A very good beer to enjoy at the end of a tough week or why not simply drink it when you like a very good beer.

DruncanVeasey (6116) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Premier, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - SEP 11, 2012
Desperate, last ditch brown paper bag purchase from the 7/11, Sonoma, CA, 14/08/12. Served in a plastic cup by a crackling open fire. Misted orange, fizzing, with a well-supported moussey foam. Tinned peach flan in mandarin jelly aroma. Sadly, it’s another sweet peachy IPA sharpened slightly with bitter evergreen notes. Cool label. But a crushing disappointment.
