Dec 7, 2007 Oak aged version at Oregon Brewer’s Festival brewer’s dinner 2007, and enjoyed several times as well in regular form--Poured a clear and clean red body with a fluffy white head. Balanced bitterness. I could drink this one all day. Slightly herbal and fruity. Yum!

Jul 31, 2008 bottle in trade from ditmier. Thanks!
Pours light reddish amber with a short lived beige head. Smell is caramel red malt with a lightly fruity hop and yeast smell too. Taste is lightly musty and yeasty and doughy. Some light hops and caramel with a light lingering bitterness in the finish. Could use more malt to balance and give more body, I think.

Jul 31, 2006 355ml bottle obtained in a trade with <a
href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?U target=blank>DarkElf, thanks Stephen. Orange-copper in colour, lasting beige coloured head, light visible carbonation, light lacing. The aroma has lots of floral hops, sweet, some peaches, light caramel. The flavour again has lots of floral hops, lots of fruit(peaches, some apple), sugary sweetness, light caramel malts. Bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a long dry bitterness. A nice bitter amber ale, nicely balanced.

Mar 23, 2006 A copper-amber color (very slight haze) with a light head which fades pretty quick. Nice citrus-floral hop aroma (Amarillo). Not much malt flavor, but the hops come through nicely. Light to medium body with little aftertaste. A good beer.

Jun 5, 2004 bottle-thanks to Mromero548 for bringing this one down from CO. Burgandy red appearance with minimal white head. citrus hops and slight toasty malts, but mostly sweet hops on the aroma. Some green apple notes on the aroma as well. toasty palate with a hoppy finish. the combination of Amarillo and Tettnag is pretty interesting to taste on this one. Definately pretty complex flavors due to the unique use of these hops. Nice long finish. definately one i will revisit!

Jul 12, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with ditmier. Pours a hazy amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted through mid-glass and left a sheet of foam with each sip. The aroma is much more reminiscent of an IPA than an amber ale with lots of pine along with some caramel malt lurking in the background. The flavor is similar with some subdued caramel malt up front followed by some piney hops. Medium bodied. I was expecting more influence from the malts after reading the neck label. A bit over-hopped, but otherwise no problems.
