Commercial Description:
By combining elements of English, German and American brewing techniques and ingredients, we have created a hybrid beer of undeniably satisfying character. This burgundy colored ale has a big herbal hop nose, assertive bitterness and complex malt flavors, creating a multi-dimensional taste. It's cold-filtered and lager conditioned.

Bottled. Hazy reddish brown, explosively lively. Appley nose. Hilariously overbarbonated with light crystal malt flavour and some syrup. Low bitterness. Oh dear, the Cave Creek Chili Beer I had before it tasted better...

Pours a dark amber color with a cobbwebby head and radical sheets of lacing. Aroma is filled with musky hops, very PNWern. Flavor is nicely hoppy, very fresh and floral. YUMMY! Finishes nicely dry and bitter/sweet. This is a great NWern interpretation of a bitter. Why haven't more people had this?

Draft - Spokane. Amber to brown in color. Light pale malt and licorice aromas and flavors. To much licorice for my palate.

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)

Bomber. Over carbonated beige head with large bubbles. A 5 minute wait before you cabn get a malty metalic aroma. Taste is smooth though with a light but crisp hop flavor. Nice and malty that leaves the tongue coated in hops.
