Commercial Description:
Original Pub Style is a light copper-colored medium-bodied with a nice dry bite at the finish. A subtle combination of Cascade and Willamette hops give this ale a fine floral aroma and a slightly fruity aftertaste. The taste captures the freshness of a hand-crafted brew pub ale that goes right from the conditioning tank to your glass!

May 2005, on draught at Gritty McDuffs (Portland) with the spastic and fantastic ClarkVV. Lots and lots of diacetyl in the the nose of this very, very clear light amber beaut...character-free mild malty body with virtually no hops. I could try to come up with more, but...just avoid it.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet grassy combined with notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet with notes of peach and alcohol running over the tongue leading to a dry hoppy end. A boring beer.

[Cask conditioned] Strange and unpleasant eggy aroma. Light fruity flavour. Very boring.

Bottle: pours light orange with a small diminishing white head. Light citrus hop aroma. Flavor is mildly hoppy, a bit rough going down. Finishes bitter and somewhat dry. Decent beer.

Light amber with a grid of wisps and a bubbly ring of off white. Citrusy hop aroma with a pleasant caramel maltiness--clean. Flavour begins with a nice bitterness followed closely by caramel and then a considerable amount of diacetyl butterscotch-a bit too much for my taste. Good lemony-pine hops throughout the experience and appropriate bitterness overall. A little astringent with a smooth, medium body. A bit mouth coating. Moderate carbonation. Not bad. [resampled at brewery, 12/2005] Clear copper with nice lacing. Nice grapefruit and toffee aroma. Bitter toffee taste with a nice blend of US hops but not a lot of hops flavour when push comes to shove. Light body with medium carbonation and a bitter finish.

Cask, GBBF 2004. Gold, moderate white head and gentle condition. Delicate sweet grainy malt and hop. Slight caramel maltiness in the mouth with some low hop flavour, more sweetness and gentle hop bitterness in the finish.

A pretty decent, if uninspiring pale ale. Restrained citric hop character, with a bit of fruit and malt. Clean, dry finish. Cask, GBBF 2004.

Copper color. This is a balanced, towards the British end of the style, with pleasanty earthy malts and a mild fruitiness, finishing somewhat dry. Good accompaniment with your average American meal.
