duff (5404), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jun 7, 2004 Tap@Siletz Brewpub. Geez, for an amber this has a hell of a lot going for it. Mango/lychee aroma, soft lightly sweet start, with drying citric aromatic hops in the finish, bitter finish. hopdog (4552), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 9, 2005 Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber/copper color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, grass, and some citrus. Tastes of citrus, caramel, grapefruit, toffee and a little nutty. Lively carbonation with a thinner feeling body. BückDich (4540), Boise, Idaho, USA Mar 9, 2005 Sampled draught at Siletz Roadhouse, Siletz Amber color, no head, light lacing. Nose of grapefruit & citrus, some toasty sweet malts blend too. The flavor is hoppy! Way hoppy, step aside Mac & Jack’s. This is hoppier and more floral than most pale ales AND IPAs. Floral & clean with a rich malt body & a dry finish. acrdz (4285), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jul 23, 2004 Medium orange, hoppy maple and pine nose, very fresh hop nose. Nice bitter texture, APA-like if I had to guess.
