Mar 22, 2008 A nice, light aroma with a thick and frothy head. Hints of grapefruit and flowers.
Actual flavor is crisp, hoppy,and full of wonderful hints of mint, juniper, and rosemary with a slightly burnt-tasting finish that leaves the palate refreshed and clean.
Would be quite nice with a lighter blue cheese - perhaps Montangnolo - and a Belgian washed rind like Chimay or Pere Joseph.

Mar 22, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a dark copper color with a nice white head. Aroma is very mild, with a largely malty flavor complemented by a subtle undertone of floral hops. Taste is creamy and fairly full, with a chalky/malty flavor giving way to a crisp finish of spice and hops. A pleasantly richer and fuller take on a typically light style.

Mar 20, 2008 22 oz bomber bottle. Nice deep orange-red color. Lots of fizzy carbonation, with a pretty substantial foamy head. Decent amount of lacing left in the glass. Flavor is mild biscuit malts, a bit of toast, a hint of fruit, with a resinous, somewhat dry, west coast hop finish. Smooth on the palate. Medium bodied. Wouldn’t hesitate to drink this again.

Mar 12, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of tytoanderso. Thanks, Tyler! Pours a clear, medium orange-amber color; thin off-white head with patchy lacing. Light aroma, showing red fruits and cardboard, coupled to a citrus and mineral bitterness; one-dimensional. Medium mouthfeel: bready / yeasty notes are most prominent (almost like a sourdough bread), with a sugary, clean malt backdrop; average carbonation; slightly chalky and chewy. Medium finish, with citrus and mineral bitterness and some lingering bread; mouthdrying.

Feb 25, 2008 Thanks to Secret Santa for this one. Clear medium amber, little head. Light caramel malt aroma, with some minty hops. Light biscuit malt flavors with good hop flavors mixed in, lots of earthy and minty hops, perhaps even a bit of woodiness. Nice, and I think this is an excellent example of a hop focused California Common. I thought it did a really good job of highlighting the Northern Brewer.
