&#40;22oz bottle&#41; Medium beige head atop a hazy dark copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some pine/grapefruit, cherry, fig. Taste is moderately sweet, cherry, caramel, some grapefruit, light pine. Somewhat sticky medium-full body, quite drinkable. Very enjoyable. Warning: it loses much of its appeal as it approaches room temp.

Tap&#64;Siletz Brewpub. Pretty thick and hoppy. Darker caramell toasty malt, with a huge hit of lychee and pine from thehops, i dunno perhaps i’m starting to like these overhopped US ales?

Poured a darker and cloudy brownish red with an averaged sized off white head. I had a hard time picking out anything in this one, but I’ll try. Malty. Light caramel, bready, light oranges and some dark fruits. Light alcohol in the finish.

Pours a dark copper mahogany with a frothy light tan head. Aroma of slightly toasty caramel malts with a lot of tart vinegar and sauerkraut notes. Body is fizzy and thin with a slightly sweet caramel flavor and earthy acidic tartness. This brewery has some terrible infection issues and I hope they either correct them or stop brewing.
