Ivory head that mostly diminished, no lacing, soft carbonation observed, transparent, and an orange hue. The nose was malty, caramel, wheat notes, and mildly hoppy. Ditto for the flavor and it finished crise and dry. Smooth mouthfeel. Quaffable indeed and worthy of a try. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 6, 2007 This draft brew from the Oregon Brewers festival poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent softly carbonated orange brown colored body. The mild aroma was hoppy malty and Irish Red malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The strong crisp flavor contained notes of hops and caramel. Kind of like an APA. A decent one that I would consider buying again.
