Tap at HUB. Poured a brilliant amber/copper in color with low head. Slight sweetness with some alcohol notes and spices. Very tasty.

Draught. Poured rugy red with thin fast dissipating white head. Not much nose, a bit of flowers and a bit of citrus. Thinnish body with some malt and alcohol. Thin finish. I had expected much better.

On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours ruby/copper with a soft white head. Big floral hop nose with a citrus grapefruit character. The malts were not the focus of this one, this fell into that new holiday big IPA trend that is going on. Very well built, fruity and bitter. Enjoyable all around.

Bronzy, tawny body with a rich creamy white head. Hoppy, sweet malted nose. Clean and fruity, yet spicy and robust. Awesome holiday brew.
