Jul 2, 2008 Rose & Raindrop - Great bar, perhaps my favorite place to drink beer in Portland. Really nice golden amber pour, with an aroma that pervades your nostrils, jumping right out of the glass. Has that same mineral earthiness that I get from all Amnesia beers, must be from the water at the brewery. Lots of simcoe in the nose, pleasant mouthfeel, with a light honey glazed bready maltiness. Nicely done.

Nov 11, 2005 Tap at Rose and Raindrop for the cask fest. Deep amber colored and lightly hazy. Persistant white head with dense white lacing. Aroma is highly citric. Medium bodied. Flavor is balanced nicely but certainly hop dominant. Slightly vegetal. Really tasty!

Oct 31, 2005 Tap at The Rose and the Raindrop. Light amber colour, thick, fluffy white head and sticky lace. Aroma is first hoppy, light spiciness backing up a huge citrusy grapefruit aroma. Flavour is also hop-dominated, but well balanced. Sweet and lightly bready with biscuity malts playing off of the bright citrus profile. Clean and well-balanced. Nice APA.
