Im pretty impressed by this beer, plenty of malt depth coupled with a solid West Coast hop dosage. Sweet and creamy, tastes mildly Ambery. A quality, well done beer. scrizzz (1325), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 18, 2008 fresh crisp mildly spicy hop aroma, beautiful light gold with a tall reaching creamy head. for a beer of this style, how do you rate the palate higher? it’s not supposed to be complex with much hops on the finish, right? anyway i loved the quick peak of caramel and brown sugar up front which was quickly met with a hop balance and just as quickly disappeared into a clean dry finish. I’d like to try this against other hellers. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
