SuzyGreenberg (725), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 14, 2008 sampled @ brewpub - brewed special as milestone brew (batch #5,000 i think); clear and dark amber; aromas mix of malts, hops and fruit; drinks creamy and rich flavors; enjoyable across the board to be the consensus for a take out growler DA (2191), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Jan 9, 2008 On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours ruby/copper with a soft khaki head. Fruity nose, caramel and doughy. Not as earthy as some alts, sides with the fruitier hops, but all around very drinkable beer. With a bit more earthiness and toasted malt flavors this would be a nice authentic German alt, but instead finds its way as a hopped up sessionable NW brew, and to my liking I must say. Angeloregon (1260), Portland, Oregon, USA Jan 9, 2008 On tap at Green Dragon--Poured a medium to light brown body with a tinge of amber. Healthy, medium-sized gray head. Nose is earthy, grassy, chewy, and creamy much like the flavor. Dry, with a moderate but compelling hops character. Finished with a little dry bite. Very flavorful and complex. Oregonian (4), Portland, Oregon, USA does not count Jan 5, 2008 Updated: Feb 3, 2008I had this on two separate occasions at the brewpub. Nice dark amber-slightly red hue. Nice alt-stye maltiness. Great earthy hops that gives a nice, subtle, dry bite at the end. This may be the same hop they used in their Scottish-style ale earlier in 2007. Overall a very nice alt, although the hops are very earthy a quite Scottish in style. Great beer. Indiana_Red (1425), Boise, Idaho, USA Nov 21, 2007 On Tap at the BrewPub.
Slightly hazy redish amber with a small off white head. Mild wheat malt flavor and a light hop bite. Soft but full body and soft carbonation. Very tasty.
