Commercial Description:
From the first day of the first mash of the first recipe in the first space to this oasis 13 years on the road; We have worked hard to walk in the footsteps of our hero brewers. The Esteemed brewer of California's best Pale Ale, the Noble Brewer of the planet's only legal Steam Beer, and Oregon's Rebel Brewer from Newport. Thirteen years down the road, we have found our own voice as brewers but our admiration for the Great Ones has not dimmed one bit. If we walked well down the hero's path ourselves, perhaps we too have been an inspiration for others. Beer is a Bronze Age business and we feel honored to have left our footprints on its path into history, at the same time leaving our flavors on your buds. Thanks for your trust over the years and we hope you enjoy this specially brewed Hi-Gravity Auburn offering. Beer Speaks. People Mumble! O.G. 1.085 76.92 IBU

Bottle sampled. Pours a deep amber with a one finger light tan head. Aroma of sweet malts, pine, floral hops, and notes of citrus. Smooth flavor of caramel , toffee, citrus, and piney hops with a hint of raisins and a dry and hoppy finish. Very well balanced. An excellent american strong

I over-ranked this previously, because it didn’t stand up on a second bottle. The color is befitting a maestro red. I found the most bitterness at the opening, not the close, and even that was extremely well-balanced. Notes of milk, cinnamon/sugar and a sweetness reminiscent of maraschino are the chief impressions, and this mysterious last is the finish. A great anniversary.

This begins with a dark orange pour that produces a large off-white head. Fruity bubblegum aroma. Light body, slight bitterness leads to some nice dryness, but not heavy like an APA or IPA. O.K., but perhaps a bit ordinary.

Piney and citrusy nose with a touch of isovaleric cheese. Mild corn syrup character on the palate. Lingering hop finish.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur ambrée rouge et claire. Nez de houblon citrique, résineux et aux notes florales, de malt du genre caramel sucré aux notes rôties, légèrement fruité (agrumes et abricots) ainsi que de faibles notes d’alcool et de pain. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes résineuses. Goût amer de houblon résineux, citrique (pamplemousse) et aux notes florales (présent toute la gorgée) avec un moyen goût fruité (agrumes sucrées et abricots) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel sucré (petites notes de toffee rôti) avec un léger goût de biscuits et des notes de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger-moyen goût d’alcool assez doux et l’on assiste à un regain d’amertume plus résineuse, plus asséchante et aux petites notes terreuses. Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon résineux, citrique et aux notes florales et terreuses avec des notes d’alcool doux, ainsi que des notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes) et des traces de rôti.

Nice reddish color with a sweet aroma. Stong hoppy taste mixed in with some carmel-y and sweetness.
