Draft... The only offering I tasted on my 10/7/06 visit with any real flavor... Clear golden ale with a small, frothy, white head. Grapefruit, orange and juniper in the nose. Caramel malt and cookie flavor with moderate bitterness provided by PNW hops. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. Lengthy, lightly bitter, grassy finish.

Thanks lithy! Bottle, amber pour. Aroma is pretty nice with some good earthy hops and a nice hit of caramel. Flavor has some nice hops, but it is just way to watered down. I found that it tasted like it was brewed with some really high quality water, but that was shining through more than the hops or malt.

Bottled. Poured slightly hazy medium orange with a light dusting of off-white head. The aroma picked up candied lighter fruits and caramel supporting earth, pine, and grapefruit hoppage. The flavor was quite sharp.. with lots of grainy, fruity simpler sugars at the core and a rough bitterness surrounding.. toasty caramel and piney bitterness on the finish. Lighter-bodied with high carbonation.. got caught up toward the back of the mouth. This was a hair below average, but drinkable.
