On tap @Tulalip Casino, Wa.: Cloudy amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel and apricot. Flavor starts sweet and fruity (peach/mango) with some malty caramel and a light grassy bitter finish. Full bodied and smooth with moderate carbonation.

I had this on tap at Matts Oyster Lounge while in Redmond on business. Poured a cloudy unfiltered amber with a very mild almost non-existent aroma. Very smooth beer, not overly hoppy and with hints of citrus. Finish is short and somewhat sweet. Definitely a good beer, but I don’t know about 96th percentile.

Pours dark and cloudy...dishwater at first that develops into a beautiful amber color. Extremely complex. More hoppy than usual for an amber. Floral, earth, tones. Appreciating all this beer brings to the table is a challenge because it has so many features to it. Unique brew.

Have had this beer for years and every time this beer gets just that mush better. One of the best Amber beers out there. Easy to drink deep brwon color with a nice head the flavors are deep and rich with malts light hops to the character. This is just a great beer. Give me more and I will brew this beer one day.

Received a growler of this as a gift. Pours a dark cloudy amber. Aroma is pleasantly sweet and hoppy, as is the taste. I unfortunately discovered that if you let it sit too long, the yeast precipitates out. My favorite amber so far.
