Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Aug 7, 2006 Dark amber colour. Earthy hop nose. The flavour is well-balanced and multifaceted...fresh woody, mossy hop, lightly toasty, earthy malts and subtle yeast accents. About as good as an EPA can get, really. CapFlu (3273), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Jun 27, 2006 (Draught) Sampled at the brewery in a 6oz glass. Dissipated white foamy head with a well-carbonated copper body. Nose is as distant from what a member would consider a West Coast Pale Ale as possible. Nice malted flavour and doubled-up hops. Good enough beer but not the PNW variety.
