Jan 5, 2007 Updated: Aug 28, 2008Bottle. Intense hop oil aroma over slight caramel. Amber pour with a creamy and foamy beige/tan head. Starts off with normal Amber character, mild and caramelly with a lightish body, and promptly changes into something of a miniature hop bomb with balanced bitterness and caramel - appropriately named! Quaffable, session stuff. Dusty hops. Touch of dry yeast in the smooth aftertaste. Darkish maltiness. Mf is creamy smooth and a bit sudsy. Floral sudsiness. Rounded and controlled. Might be the dryest Amber I’ll ever taste, esp. in a style known for sweetness. Somewhat original, quite an achievement.
MAN this is yummy! Up two-tenths.

Jan 2, 2007 From a 12 oz bottle to a shaker the brew exhibited a light amber- orange color with a frothy tan head. A definite NW US hop aroma is present (cascade? centennial?). The first taste results in a medium bodied beverage with a creamy texture. A very hoppy taste with a finish that is long and gently diminishing. The head has shown a lasting ability with nice lacing down to the end. As a self-proclaimed "hophead", I must say that this is an excellent introduction to more seriously hopped brews.

Jan 1, 2007 Poured from a 12 oz. bottle. Reddish, golden-orange color. Off white head that died down quickly. Nice, hoppy aroma with pine and floral notes. Crisp bitterness but well balanced. A good all around brew where hop flavor and aroma are featured.

Dec 29, 2006 Medium brown-amber with a good, tall beige head.
Aromas of nuts, toast, grapefruit, and malt.
Medium bodied, with a well-gauged amount of carbonation. Flavors are lively, dry but not drying to the palate. Bitterness is restrained until the finish.
A well-rounded brew for hopheads.

Dec 22, 2006 Bottle. Ruby, reddish-orange in color. thin to no head. Hoppy with notes of brown sugar to the nose. 2-part taste: tart, thin, crisp bitterness on the tongue offset by honey, lightly malty after taste in the back of the throat. Solid.

Dec 16, 2006 Great first taste, that keeps me coming back. Nice rich color and smooth finish, great hoppy aroma. ( Can’t stop smelling this beer). A hint of citrus and spice linger in this Ale, along with a nice, not exteme bitterness and a rush of malt in the background. A must try for new comers in the area.
