Jul 1, 2008 On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours murky red/copper with a faint beige head. Flavor was hops driven, citrus with a pithy grapefruit finish. The beer tasted kinda murky also, not sure how to describe it, but green hops, yeast, sort of like a stirred up keg (maybe could be the case). None of this really came together well, not a bad beer by any means, but just mixed up a bit.

May 21, 2006 Decent, and well balanced to boot. This has a great toasted toffee and caramel flavor, with some nice citric acitidy and piney hops to round it out. Super easy to drink, truly a great session beer.

Aug 25, 2005 (Draft: Bend Brewing Company in Bend, OR) A special release with proceeds going to Bend’s sister city in Nicaragua for their fire department, this seems big and malty enough for a fireman. But why is it that every beer for a firefighter’s charity is a red ale? Anyway, this smells very close to their Old Ale, sweet, caramely, fruity, and malty, but with a fair amount of toastiness, and low on the hops. Sweet, caramely and malty flavor is balanced by a moderate bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, with a clean, but sustantial palate. Deep ruddy amber color. Light tan head fades to a ring, but leaves some patchy lacing on the glass. Not as good as the Old Ale, but plenty good enough.

Jul 10, 2008 On tap at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, OR--Definitely looked like an amber ale with a small whitish head. Hoppy grapefruit and caramel hops nose. Very nice for the most part, but a little watery in the finish.

May 22, 2007 Draft at the Brewpub: Rusty brown pour with a moderate beige head. Nose is mild and of malt, caramel, and has an overt sweetness. The taste is more malty, some rye, earth tones, and citrus. It was on nitro; very smooth. I think this may boost my feelings on this one.
