roner77 (35), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 3, 2006 On tap@ Corbett Street Fish House, Portland OR. An elusive beer to pin down. Looks a light amber/gold color but has a rather round and full body. A lighter grapefruit hopping. The finish is slight bitters with an herbal taste. I could drink many of these. beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Mar 6, 2005 On tap at the Rose and Raindrop. Pours a lightly cloudy orange/golden with a small white head. Crisp citrus hops are dominant in the aroma. Very well balanced with fruity light malts and a crisp hop finish make for a nice sunny day brew. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA May 18, 2008 Updated: Jun 11, 2008Pours cloudy amber with a modest white head.
