stevoj	3.4 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale Drfat at Lakeside Hideaway. Amber pour, ring of head. Aroma is malty, earthy, nutty. Taste brings notes of peat to the maltiness, not too bitter, not too sweet. Well balanced. Tuesday, May 9, 2023
andrewje41	4 North Jetty Ship In A Bottle 13 oz pour on nitro, enjoyed at Elliott Bay. Jet black dense pour. Dark tan cream foam. Big espresso nose here, amd some dark chocolate. Quite a festive brew for this time of year. Flavor is layered with coffee and cream, caramel, maple. Big bitter tones throughout, with cuts the strength well. Expected this to be more of a sipper, but the silk nitro body makes this really easy to drink. Flavorful and overall an excellent brew. Tuesday, February 14, 2023
944play	3.7 North Jetty Semper Paratus Porter Draft at Bandit Bar. Black beer with a mahogany glow and buff foam. Faintness of aromas mean they're either beguilingly sophisticated or maddeningly demure. Dark roast flavor is present but mainly eclipsed by green bitterness and a fundamental beeriness. Medium-light body and dry, but lingering resins preclude a snappy finish. Monday, January 9, 2023
thorongil2	3.2 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale (Tap) clear, bright orange amber colour with a small white head; aroma of jam, spice; balanced flavour with a long, light bitter finish Wednesday, September 28, 2022
stevoj	3.5 North Jetty Brave Man's Death Taster at Loyal Legion. Golden pour, thin white head. Malty aroma, earthy, evergreen. Taste is sweet, malty and a nice dose of piney hop character. Tuesday, September 27, 2022
stevoj	3.8 North Jetty / Heathen Graveyard of the Pacific 16oz can from Cannon Beach Liquor. Opaque brown pour, thin foamy off-white head. Malty aroma, sweet, prunes. Taste is malty, strong, sweet. Warmth rises late. Wednesday, September 21, 2022
coasternut	3.7 North Jetty The Milkman Knocks Twice Milk Stout Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head that stays for a while. It has a dark roast and chocolate taste with very little bitterness and a slight sweetness. I'm sure the milk smooths out the taste. I'm not a big fan of stouts but this is very good. Tuesday, May 3, 2022

thorongil2	3.8 North Jetty My Kinda IPA (Tap) hazy, bright orange colour with a small white head; aroma of tropical fruit; rich, balanced flavour with a long, medium bitter and slightly mineral finish Tuesday, February 1, 2022
jbruner	3.7 North Jetty Haze-R-Dous Waters Pours a hazy golden orange on tap with dense white foam that dissipates slowly to leave good lace. Aroma of citrus and stone fruit hop notes over raw wheat and oats. Taste is juicier than the nose, but slightly sweet from the malt, low bitterness from hops, clean and soft on the mouth. Solid, but nothing earth shattering. Sunday, July 25, 2021
Fatehunter	3.7 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale A hazy red body with a thick finger of head. Aroma is mild caramel, bread, citrus, and dates. Taste is mild caramel sweet, malt forward, a little citrus and pine bitterness. Texture feels thicker. Wednesday, May 26, 2021
Reid	4 North Jetty Mounds O' Stout Pint at Black Squid Taphouse in Lincoln City. $5 Pours a nice black body with a good sized tan head. Lace is fantastic. Aromas of semi sweet chocolate, light coconut, light coffee and cream. Taste starts sweet..then becomes bitter chocolate an coconut cream. Nice Mouth feel is thick .but the carbonation lightens it up Nice stout for $5 Friday, April 16, 2021
Reid	3.6 North Jetty / Heathen Graveyard of the Pacific 16 oz. can purchased from Lifesource Natural grocers in Salem OR $3.79 Didn't know this was 10% when buying. Here goes. Pours a murky dark amber coloured body with a nice tan head..frothy/creamy/rocky. Aromas of raw honey, demerara raw sugar, caramel and dark dried fuits. Taste is like the aroma but quite sweet, maybe too sweet. Mouth feel is quite heavy and carbonation low. Too sweet and heavy to drink 16 ozs to be honest Sunday, January 10, 2021
Reid	3.8 North Jetty My Kinda IPA 16 oz can from Lifesource Natural Grocer in Salem OR $3.79 Pours a semi hazed orange colour. The head is huge and beautiful Cream coloured and frothy/rocky. Despite the semi-haze the aroma is more West Coast..citrus and tropical fruit but not over the top. Taste takes another turn and goes down the more PNW dank/pine road..this is really strange! Then the citrus reappears. Mouth feel is average for style..medium..could use a tad more carbonation. A very perplexing IPA..but in the end good Saturday, December 5, 2020
Reid	3.8 North Jetty Spirit Fingers IPA 16 oz can purchased from Lifesource Natural Grocer in Salem OR $3.79 Pours a semi-hazy apricot flesh colour with a really nice large thick/bubbly off white head. Nice fruity tropical aromas..mango/papaya mainly but not overwhelming..some floral hops also. Taste similar but has a nice ( for me) bitter ending. Good , well constructed mouth feel..never gets boring or cloying. Another good beer from North Jetty Saturday, November 21, 2020
raphael	3.8 North Jetty Spirit Fingers IPA Can from Otto's. oh my, great aroma funk—citrus, sawdust, fresh green. Strong hop bitterness, pine, mellowed by the grain haze, lemon peel. mainly know it’s a hazy by the astringent mouthfeel.

coasternut	4.2 North Jetty / Heathen Graveyard of the Pacific Pours a dark reddish amber with minimal head that goes away quickly. Taste and aroma are quite good. It tastes like a Red Ale only stronger. Saturday, May 30, 2020
bpreo	4 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale A very fine Scottish-style Red Ale. So good, in fact, that I choose this as my beer to go with dinner. Monday, October 7, 2019
troopie	3.4 North Jetty Roggenbier Looks like a Dunkelweizen. Clove and banana aroma. Flavour is rye bread toast with a little banana. Spice and rye finish. Sunday, June 16, 2019
BillKismet	3.3 North Jetty Atlantic Wave East Coast IPA Hazy bronze brew with a fluffy off-white head. The nose spits out a mixture of tropical fruit and bitter hop notes. The body is infused with grapefruit rind, accented by tropical fruit and an interesting and appealing minty/wintergreen character that cools the tongue. Some ripples of co-humulone make their presence known as well. Monday, May 20, 2019
BillKismet	3.7 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale Deep scotch caramel color topped with a creamy burnt caramel head. Woody malt nose with cigar box notes along with fruit and smoke. The body feels a tad light and under-bodied, but delivers enjoyable flavors, including leather, cigar box, deep malting, and fruity smoke. A well-crafted Scottish-style ale. Monday, May 20, 2019
BuckeyeBoy	3.4 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale On tap at GG Astoria pours out amber topped with a sand head. Nose is nice sweet caramel toffee malts and some spice. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts and a little candy. Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Reid	3.8 North Jetty Beer With Friends IPA 32 oz. growler from Tsunami taproom in Salem OR $8 clear deep golden coloured ale with a large thick and frothy white head..leaves lashings of lace as i drink. Aromas of fruity/floral hops sharp and fresh. Taste has the fruity/floral aspect but also some of that good old fashioned PNW dank..though not a lot enough to remind you were this is brewed. Mouth feel is medium with medium carbonation with a semi-dry finish which helps in drinkability. A good regular OR/WA IPA Monday, February 4, 2019
coasternut	3.8 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale Had last night and found it to be very good. You could taste the hops, but the malt base showed through with a slight sweetness.

raphael	3.5 North Jetty Keelhauled Triple IPA On tap at Proper Pint. Deep orange brown, a little dark for an IPA, and tat shows in the malt forwardness--which makes it taste more like a strong than a triple IPA--where the flavor is leather, black tea, old peach and alcohol, Aroma a little muted, with leather, molasses and spice.Some hop-malt clash in the flavor that's louder on the finish. Friday, April 20, 2018

Toast and biscuit. Touch of sea brine. Pine and peppercorns. Ample sulfur in here. T: Light sweetness and more of the minerals. Somewhat clean but not where it needs to be. M: Light body, biting carbonation, no alcohol. O: Decent Kolsch but it need some work to get to Occidental levels for an American version. Tuesday, December 12, 2017
evolk	4 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale Saturday, September 23, 2017
Roymullins	4 North Jetty Leadbetter Red Scottish Ale Very nice smooth ale- thought it might be stronger since not is labeled as a Scottish ale but this one is definitely sessionable. Could drink a lot of these... be careful Friday, June 23, 2017

cobaink2	3 North Jetty North Head IPA Growler from brewery a bit of resin and dirty hops. Not bad but could be better. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Saturday, June 11, 2016
after4ever	3.3 North Jetty Starvation Alley Weissbier Draft at the Pickled Fish, Long Beach. Pours a cloudy medium gold with a loose white head. Mild toasty grain nose, a little kettle funkiness but not very prominent. Can’t really find the cranberries, alas. Creamy medium body with lively carb. Nicely built. Mild toasty grain and soft kettle funk on the mid palate. Still no berries. I know this cranberry company is supposed to be pretty cool, and this combination seems like a natural (though I might go with a wild cranberry ale rather than a weisse, but that’s an easy idea, not a true creative spin--the weisse seems more like a genuine creative spin). I’d like to see the flavors here a bit clearer though. Probably need to triple the poundage next time. Monday, March 21, 2016
