Dec 29, 2008 12 oz bottle from Market of Choice, was very random to find this here in Oregon, but I was happy to give it a shot. Nice amber pour with a moderate tan head. Nice big hoppy flavor which is unusual for the style. Pretty well balanced as well, nice malt flavors. Solid offering though I was expecting a little more from what I have heard about this brewery.

Dec 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich deep dark amber color with a medium sized light tanned colored head. The sweet smell of citrus hops meet the nose even while pouring, and upon closer inspection a light background of malt comes out. Lovely thick creamy body with a hint of sweetness. Very soft finish, and not nearly as much hoppy bitterness as I might like, especially given the aromas coming off the nose.

Dec 9, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a thin beige head. Nice floral hoppy aroma with some caramel hints. Flavor has a nice balance of hops and malty sweetness. Nice bitter aftertaste. A mellow watery mouthfeel. Very decent drinkable beer with nice flavor. Ambers are one of my favorite styles, but this doesn’t blow me away.

Nov 30, 2008 Pours to a dark orange amber with a 1.5 finger head. Good bit of hops on the nose.
HInts of floral on the nose, but not as much citrus as expected.
On the palate this is a strong beer -- good caramel flavor with a solid overtone of floral hops. A touch of mineral flavor also, but nothing to detrimental. Certainly a bit toasty as well.
Smooth hoppy finish. Hardly much evidence of the decently high alcohol percentage.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from brentk56. Thanks! Nice darker amber pour with a thin head. The aroma is that of toasted caramel malts and some nice floral/earthy hops. A touch of wood too. Nice flavors of earthy hops upfront followed by toasted malts, light caramel sweetness and earthy woody hops in the finish. Rather dry finish. A very nice amber ale.
