Jan 7, 2008 22oz bottle. Light bready aroma. Lots of bread crust and a hint of grassy hops. Pours bright clear copper with a sustained white head leaving surprising lacing. Flavor is quite dry with emphasis on bread crust. Some grassy bitter and metallic hops. Fairly light bodied finishing rather metallic and astringent.

Dec 27, 2007 Bottle. Golden pour, thin head that dissipated quickly. Aroma of czech malt and dishwater. Reminds me a bit of anchor steam, with the somewhat off-tasting yeast and bland malt.

Dec 26, 2007 Pours pale orange with small halo of a head. Nose is malty and a touch of yeast. Flavor is bitter with not much after that. No complexity or flavor beside the bitterness.

Dec 14, 2007 Golden pour with white foamy head that diminishes into a halo of lace. Spice and slight citrus on the nose. Bread and spice come to mind during the initial taste. A bit thin on the mouthfeel. Slight hop flavors also present. Bitterness is ever present and builds at the finish. Nice session beer.

Dec 2, 2007 Picked up single 22-oz bomber at Bottleworks in Seattle, WA. Pours a light golden amber brew with a fast dissolving white head that nearly dissipates clean. Aroma of light fruity caramel multi-grain malt, a touch of dry hops and some roasted nuts. Taste is light to medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of light caramel malt, some orange/citrus zest, and even a touch of yeast. Finish has a slight sourdough flavor with a mild bitterness. Interesting brew.

Nov 30, 2007 Smells like a toilet...couldn’t get past this. Little appreciable flavor or anything else. Ugh!

Nov 30, 2007 Bottle: Orange-tinged golden brew, lightly active, with a thin top. The aroma is sweet and almost fruity. It drinks with a stark acerbic sting right up front, not unlike your first sting when you bite into an orange rind to start peeling it. This mellows as you go, but it provides a barrier between this beer being a standard ol’ golden lager or ale and what it is, which is a very cool nice style made by a newly historic brewer. Miscategorized here as a bitter, I suppose because that’s the closest they can do, but this is a neat examplar. (#3227, 11/30/2007)
