Commercial Description:
Fiercely local, drawing on indigenous ingredients from the hop fields of the Willamette Valley and the barley fields of the high Northwest desert. This pale ale is round and soft on the palate, finishing crisply, to capture the flavor and spirit of the Pacific Northwest in every pint and bottle.

Pours a three finger white head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Nice clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Hoppy/malty nose. Starts almost sweet but that wouldn’t be a pale, hops are there, finish has some bittterness but not bad. $1.30 for a 12oz bottle from Liquid Solutions Tigard, Or.

Bottle: Clear copper color with light cream head and lots of bubbles rising to the top. It has hoppy aromas of pine and strangely a floral hoppy taste without much bitterness at all, kind of a leather taste. The aftertaste had something of cola or mild spices or maybe licorice - I couldn’t quite land it. The feel was less than desirable - way too thin, almost watery. All around, interesting.

4 ounce sample at the brewpub in Portland, OR. Mild toasty, biscuity maltiness with some light floral hops present in the nose. Nothing outstanding. Transparent copper color with a frothy whitish head and fair lacing. A mildly sweet, malty start, becoming chewier. A bit toasted with some caramelly notes present. Finishes with a tiny amount of floral hoppiness. Rather boring, but not overly bad.

Hop malt aroma. Red amber colour with good head and lacing. Smooth malt hop flavour. Smooth palate.

Clear amber body with slightly off white head. Hint of Scotch Wiskey aroma. Couldnt detect any hop aromas. More hop flavor needed. Refreshing.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of oranges, lemons, caramel. and has a light floralness to it. Tastes of caramel, citrus, and some grain. Thinner body. Some lacing left on the glass.

this one is bit weak on the palate for me. for a pale ale they dont boost the hops nearly enough, more of an amber with a malty sweet fat tire eque flavor. orange clear with a thin white head, nondememo nose.

Pours light amber with low carbonation. Nice aroma, with fruity hops and a slight brandy-like sweentess. Flavor starts a little citrusy and becomes sweet, then finishes with a decent hop bite but turns sour. Probably wouldn’t buy again.
