Jul 18, 2007 On draught at the brewpub in Whitefish, Montana. Pours a clear reddish amber brew with a decent off-white head that slowly dissolves to a fine film and moderate lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, sweet Washington apples, pears and some dark pitted fruit. Taste is lightly carbonated, smooth, slightly sweet with a good balance of caramel malt and dry hop bitterness. Finish is smooth, creamy and a moderate bittersweet as balanced as its flavor.

May 14, 2007 Draft 6 oz’er at the taproom. True amber in color with moderate lacing from the head. Not much of an aroma, maybe a light caramel. The flavor almost seems berry-like, which is interesting but good. Wish I’d gotten their description of this. Quite smooth with a bit of bitter way on the back of the tongue. This was my favorite here. (#2863, 5/12/2007)

Jul 16, 2004 Reddish brown with a small tan head that faded to a small lasting ring. Off aroma, flavor was better than expected, especially considering these reviews. Nice hop bite for an amber, but it wasn’t overly so.
Thanks to slikwily for this one.

Jun 27, 2004 Very cloudy amber/brown color. smallish cream colored head. Somewhat typical amber nose. Aromas of mild caramel with a PNW hops profile. Light sweet start with a heavy flavor and bitterness acidity in the middle and coasting through to the end. Quite sharp and unbalanced in the finish with the alcohol coming out a touch to really twist things around. Thanks slikwily for this one. Some of the fault in this one may go back to the yeast as well. This one seems to have a few funky yeast characteristics that become more interesting as it warms.
