On tap at PDX-I don't think this beer could have lived up to the hype I've heard on it, but it really didn't blow me away. Who knows how much they sell at the Portland Airport though-might be an old keg. Hoppy and malty, but the whole thing seemed like someone's fairly decent homebrew.

I order this on-tap at Chili's. They have a winner here. Nice aroma and malty flavor. Great Cloudly color. Who needs clarity?

Amber-colored, cloudy and unfiltered. Very fruity nose. Nice-looking head and good carbonation. Fruity flavor dominates, with good hop flavor as well.

This was a really nice local brew, though not as nice as the IPA I had just before it. Good malt base, good hoppy bitterness, and I guess the fruitiness and the cloudiness are related some way, the way they are in an unfiltered sake maybe.

Tried at the Cheesecake Factory, Seattle. This was one of my last beers whilst on holiday this year. Very tasty, and flavoursome ale. Nice dark colour - like a slightly dryer oktoberfest beer. At the time I didn't realise it was so well regarded, but I can see why people enjoy it so much.

A darker amber ale with a bit too many fruity flavors coming through. This finish was lingering yet dissatisfying

This beer is worth driving to Seattle for, I don't care where you call home, but you must try this beer. Thick and smooth, but crisp. I could actually distinguish both kinds of hops present. Amazing beer. A+
