Very nice amber on tap at Good Times in Eugene Oregon. From the pitcher it pours a golden amber. The taste is nice and sweet for an amber, definaltey good for an amber. I would have never tried it out. Smells of rich fruits, floral hops, quality malts and slightly nutty. Small fizzy whitish head. A good session beer.

I love this beer. Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get around to rating it. I can only get it on tap, so this is from (drunken) memory, but I recall a long and recessed hop profile. A lot of nuttiness in the nose and flavor, with some grapefruit hops, which are counter-balanced by some very nice toffee malt. Extremely well balanced....I think I may buy a keg and let it chill in my bathtub. Forget showers....

It has an interesting flavor. I like it though. It is pleasing to the eye as well. I think it’s cool that it is only available on tap.

Tried this at 3 different places in Seattle. Excellent stuff! Looks like a darker hefeweizen, with a very similar mouthfeel. Cidery notes at the top of the swallow. So so tasty.

Poured a dark cloudy orange with an off white head. It had aroma of citrus, malt, and hops. The flavors were: pears, malts, apple, and hops. This beer was extremely well balanced with a smooth and creamy palate.

On tap at Seeds bistro in LaConner. Deep amber color with lacy white head in a tall glass. Aroma is zesty fruit hops, some floral and sweet honey. These smells blend into the tastes of rich honey/toffee, some earthen nuts, zesty orange undertones and a chewy, flowery-spice and resinous end. A fantastic beer that I will enjoy having again.
