Commercial Description:
Full bodied ale which uses our estate grown cascade, centennial, and chinook hops in the kettle boil. Flowery hoppy nose, and aggressive hop on the palate will make this a favorite of anyone who loves our humulus lupulus dosed ales.

Crystal clear amber body with off-white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, spruce, some caramel, berry, light melon. Taste is medium sweet, spruce, caramel, light melon. Soft medium body, easy to drink. Good stuff, but I prefer the Harvest.

Clear straight amber. Straightforward crystal malts aroma over which thrive earthy hops on top of the lightly flowery and heavily citrusy ones. As usual, the assembling is competent. In 1995, this would have been excellent, but you need to go a bit beyond to gather the high scores nowadays. Crisp palate with a sweetish toastiness.

On tap at O’Briens on 11/30/06: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of toasty crisp pale grainy malt and some mild, but fresh, piny hops. Body starts with a slightly sweet and floral strawberry flavor toward an earthy finish. A pretty average APA.

@San Diego Brewing [CA]-on tap-pours a ? head and gold color. Aroma is mild citrus-lemon hops (cascade). Taste is mild citrus-lemon hops (cascade), medium malt-some sweet caramel. More APA to me. [OK, listed as APA on RB, don’t remember what they said at the brewpub]
