A deep amber colored American ale, featuring a rich malty body. Cascade and Willamette hops add a complex hop flavor and aroma. This ale is exceptionally balanced between malty sweetness and delicate hop bitterness.

Bottled. A hazy dark red beer with a t hin tan head. The aroma has strong notes of hops lending it citrusy notes, but also notes of fruits leaning on being over ripe and hence very sweet on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of malt, caramel, over ripe fruits, and medium notes of hops, the latter lending it notes of citrus, leading to a very bitter finish. The over ripe fruits gives it a good body. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Hazy amber colour. Caramelly, earthy aroma with light esters. Chewy caramel malts. That’s about it, really. Fairly earthy but really simple beer.

Crystal clear copper with small beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, pine, some grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, pine resin, but needs more in its makeup to be a top-quality beer. Smooth medium body.
