Jul 24, 2009 Pours a hazy red amber with decent white head. Excelent lacing. Lugt aroma of sweet malt. Medium body with a great malty sweetness. Nice finish as well.

Mar 21, 2004 On tap at the Liquid Lounge in EMP. Cloudy/murky amber almost brown like color. Faint malt aromas. Light to medium bodied, somewhat smooth on the palate, with nutty, malt flavors. The finish is a mild hop intensity. An enjoyable beer.

Dec 6, 2007 Draft at Jak’s Grill in Issaquah, this is just about the best amber draft I’ve ever had. I can’t put it any better than the commercial description, "creamy, hoppy, delicious, and ’magnificent’.

Jul 13, 2002 This is a very respectable amber ale, but considerably overrated by some overzealous (and perhaps drunk) reviewers. Appearance is a pleasant hazy orange-amber; head is a bit disappointing but with lingering lacy traces. Aroma is almost undetectable--what nose there is can be said to be slightly malty and fruity. The flavor is decidedly malty, with medium hop presence providing balance...carbonation is also a bit on the light side...It finishes quite clean, with just a hint of lingering malt sweetness. Don’t get me wrong--I drink this ale periodically when out-and-about in Pugetland drinking emporiums, but I think perhaps this brew’s reputation is built upon it’s tap-only availability and exotic name and logo. Again, this is a very drinkable offering, but certainly does not reside in the front rank of ales in this classification, or for that matter, in the Northwest region. Re-Rate 7/13/02 Had this again last night. Head was healthier this time around, as was aroma. Hops were also more prominent--especially in the finish--but somehow all the elements of this brew just don’t mesh together. I still think it is well-overrated.

May 23, 2002 Well I must say I was disapointed with this beer. Maybe I had a bad tap. I found the palate to be light, I didn’t like the aroma, the flavor was decent with some nice malt sweet characteristics. I’ll have to try it again, because I was very disapointed.
