Malty sweet nose on this reddish brown pour. It is hoppy, and slightly sweet. Smooth and dry finish. A nice brew.

tiny bobbles, soft, dense uniform creamy top. Cloudy amber body. Mildly floral, light grainy notes mingle with a citrus hop bite, then builds to a sweet floral and light caramel flavor. finishes clean and crisp. a bit more pronounced malt profile would be awesome to me. Creamier and sweeter as it warmed, showing more of that malt aspect.

A very good Amber Ale. Great balance of hops and malt with hints of cream, brown sugar, and caramel. On draft at Andrew’s in Vancouver, WA.

Purchased from K’s in Bellevue by the gallon
This is a solid not-to-offend-anyone ale, that was a hit for our thanksgiving festivities. The aroma is sour, with some decent English malts. The hops were muted, and *i think* unbalanced for the style. The head was creamy and the palate was soft. Flavor was fruity and sessionable.

Was a cloudy amber, unique yeast character for an "english" style beer. Nicely hopped, but left lingering bitterness on the tongue.

Cloudy orangish colored pour with medium sized head. A fruity, maltay nose to it with a sweet malty finish. I really liked this.

On tap at the Sheraton Hotel Downtown Seattle. Has a nice rich hazy amber color with a medium off white head. Aroma of herbs, spices and malt with a hint of hops.Taste is smooth and well balanced with a flavor of caramel and floral undertones. Finishes sightly sweet from the maltyness.Very nice beer. I will be drinking more of his.
