On nitro at Zeus Cafe. Amber with creamy white head. Light floral aroma. Flavor is sweetish caramel with harshish fruit and floral accompaniments. Not overly dry.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On nitro tap. Nice creamy head really adds to a style that in this case is more straightforward than groundbreaking. Good malt taste.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On Nitro @ North Bank in Eugene. Nice session beer, refreshing and crisp. Hop notes and a nice balanced malt profile.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From the McMenamins in Mill Creek. Translucent orange witih a moderate white head. Aroma is bready malt, fruity apricot, and citrus hops. Flavor is toasty, bready malt with a mild hop bite. A little bland for the style, but not bad.

On tap. Visited more than one McMenamins and tasted more than one of thier brews. Unfortunately I do not remember the details so I am entering this primarily as a record of having tasted them. Hopefully I will make it back out to a McMenamins again someday and get better notes.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught. Poured mahogany brown with white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus. Malty flavout with more hop. Good with fish and chips. Lingering malty finish with a tinge of hop
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the Spar in Olympia, WA. Pours a mahogany brown color with a medium tan head that stays around for a while. Aroma is floral with citrus as well. Flavor has malts up front, but the hops gives it sweet/bitter finish. Good brew, but I prefer Hammerhead, which I think it resembles in some ways. I’d like to pair this beer with barbeque chicken, grilled corn on the cob and roasted potatoes.
