Sampled on a recent trip to the northwest. Memory is a little hazy, but I think sweet caramel, subtle bitter finish, copper color, sweet aroma summarizes it pretty well.

On tap at Tap House in Seattle; although I did visit Hales. Clear dull gold in color; on nitro. Aroma of flowers and bread; a bit too light though. Flavor was bready with a hint of fruit and flowers. Sessionable and solid, albeit not great.

Nitro @ The Horse Brass Pub... Poured a clear orange with a huge white head. Extremely sessionable as it was silky and smooth with a very unobtrusive palate. Subtle corn flavors that were lagerish in nature having a sweet dryness that was very drinkable.

Drain pour. Tastes like flat cream soda with artificial flavors added. Voted worst beer of the night by five tasters. Take it back, please.

Tap at Concordia Ale. Round, smooth, and thick. Nice sweet flavor that boasts sugar, apple, light wheat and very very mild hops. Cascades nicely and is carbonated well.
