riversideAK (2650), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 19, 2008 Big butterscotch nose. Not much else except maybe some light floral hops. Perhaps a little vanilla. Pours a dark amber with a thin head. Diacetyl, toffee, caramel malt, and some floral hops round out this one. A sweet lingering butterscotch flavor. Bad bottle eh? presario (2955), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 26, 2008 Sample tray. Dark reddish amber. Nice hop flavour with apricot and melon. Notes of wood and toffee. I could drink a few of these. auderale (572), Fairchild AFB, Washington, USA Jan 20, 2008 Draft: Golden colored pour with huge head. Spicy, malty aroma with a little hops. A nice crispy bitter malty finish. Scoutman (14), USA Dec 16, 2007 On tap at the brewery,
Not much nose or head, but a nice bitter none the less. Excellent clarity and copper color. Nice malty backbone, It cold have used perhaps a little more caramel malt for sweetness. Very pleasant brew with lunch Bradrcr (778), Renton, Washington, USA Jul 17, 2007 On draught at the brewery. Aroma is a sweetness and bittering hop balance forward with notes of citrus and caramel. Appearance is a clear copper with a well retained off white head. Flavor has earthy hop notes forward, some resiny flavor and low sweetness. Mouthfeel is low/medium bodied with low/medium carb texture. Overall, a fairly well balanced beer that just needs a bit more sweetness. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jul 13, 2007 Fifth stop during the ABA Beer Tour 07 in Spokane, Washington. Sampled on tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear dark brownish amber with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film. Nice white swirl fillm on brew surface. Aroma of caramel malt, light maple syrup, some grassy hops and a touch of yeast. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with flavors of multi-grain biscuits, and some citrus hops. Finish is dry and a little metalic, with a lingering light bitterness. Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA May 22, 2007 Draft pint at the brewpub; Red, little to no carbonation and virtually no head. Not much of an aroma, but this has a nice prototypical bitter flavor profile ... caramel malt, tangy bitterness, nice metallic hop bite. (#2917, 5/18/2007)
