Dark amber with a foamy head and good lacing. Butter and slighly sour nose. Diacetyl! Meh. Bitter, orange and mango hops. No butter thankfully. Malts are backing fairly well. Medium body with a bitter tail. The nose fails here, but the flavors help out a bit.

Sampler at M&P. All I wrote down was awful. I dont think I even finished it and it was just a sampler. The equipment is bad or something.

Tap at Rose and Raindrop. Clear, deep amber colored with light red hues. Good dense white head leaves a coating, foamy lacing behind. Light citrus hop aroma with just a touch of caramel. Medium bodied. Malty with a light sweetness. Very solid hop bitterness that approaches harsh but doesn’t quite cross that line. Lingering bitterness. Fair, would benefit with a good dry hopping.

Sampled draught at Mia & Pias Tap Room, Klamath Falls
Copper color, light sticky head, well retentive too. Nose of grapefruit & light citrus, fruity melons & malt blend. The flavor is excellent, the hops, sweetness, body & alcohol all take turns in a kaleidoscope of flavors. Finishes smooth, clean (surprisingly). decent.

on tap at mia and pia´s. a bit messy but with enough hops to cover the flaws. big cascade aroma, quite thick in the mouth, hint of watermelon and mango, decent bitterness

Tap@Mia and Pias. Heavy long and sticky palate. Loads of lychee, woody pine. Too sweet and sticky. I still probably underated it.

They claim to use four pounds of hops per barrel and that hoppiness is present through out the cascade accented brown colored brew.
