MI2CA (1260), Noblesville, Indiana, USA Sep 14, 2009 Half pint at the brewery - Aroma of sweet caramel, toffee and English hops. Flavor matches. Palate is clean with just a hint of bitterness. Another refreshing brew. KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Sep 13, 2009 Cask at Deschutes Brewery and Public House in Portland.
Slightly cloudy deep copper color with lace. Light aroma of hops and a bit of caramel; fruity. Good malty flavor, with toffee, tobacco, and decent bittering hops. Rather light. Decent.
gracefullypunk (272), Washington, USA Aug 24, 2009 On tap at Portland brewery. Pours a yellow orange with plenty of bubbles and a head that disappears quickly. Aroma is primarily of peppery hops with some malt. Taste is more of the same, spicy and peppery hops, a good blend with a slight bitter finish. alexanderj (2212), Chino Hills, California, USA Apr 6, 2009 On tap at Portland location. Color was a bit hazy; amber. Aroma of caramel and fruit. Flavor of sweet malt, a good amount of fruit with some floral notes.
