Had this beer on 7/8/1999, back then the brewery named Hart Brewing and was in Seatlle. Color is medium brown with good carbonation and light head. Aroma is a nice dark roasted malt scent. Taste is a malty and bitter. It starts with a medium body that goes down with rich roasted malt flavor. The finish is a mild bitterness with no noticeable hop flavor. Overall I feel it a nice beer, but its more like a Brown Ale than a Pale Ale.

On tap at the SoDo brewery. Pours clear bright amber with a lacy white head. Medium body. Fruit and nut aroma and taste.

The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Poured a nice amber/ruby color with an off white head that starts big then resides to average. The nose was bready, malty and piney with a hint of orange zest. The taste was sweet caramel, roasted malt, rye and cherry with citrusy hop esters at the finish. Very good. Tasty as hell.

Not bad for a pale ale. Light aroma with hoppy taste. Consider it above average. Enjoyed it on a summer day.
