COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a full bodied rich amber with hints of caramel. Malt balanced with additions of northwest hops makes this a Northwest classic.

This was very easy to drink, not much in the body department, flavors are slightly lackluster, with some toffee maltiness, and just a hint of salty nuttiness. Hops come through in the finish. Toasty.

I went to the rock right when it opened up in puyallup and grabbed myself a beer platter. This was on it. Not the type of red beer I like. Little flavor

riversideAK (5413) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - MAY 22, 2009
Reddish amber pour. Nose is of a good deal of caramel, rather sweet. Light to minimal hop presence. Sweet caramel flavors, pretty malty, thin watery body sweetness is pretty much all that is up with this beer. Meh.

Bradrcr (808) - Renton, Washington, USA - DEC 9, 2008
9/29/08 On draught at The Rock, Covington, Wa. Aroma is spicy grainy malt dominant and somewhat light. Appearance is hazy gold with a well maintained white head and very good lacing. Flavor is sweet sour malt forward with a light banana character and medium carb bite. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium grainy carb bite. Overall, simple and refreshing, but not worth more than one.

Pours an amber color with a small white head on top that dissipates quickly. Mostly a malty aroma with caramel coming through and hints of hops. Flavor is caramel with nutty undertones and grassy hops. Very light on the palate and fairly easy to drink.
