Had in a cowgirl-dancing bar in Tacoma. An interesting beer. This is extremely creamy for an amber ale, but it tasty and quick drinkable. Good stuff.

Nice hazy amber coloured body with a decent tan head. Aroma of hops and malt - equally as strong. Medium-bodied; Nice hop taste to the amber with a good malt backbone. Aftertaste shows a mix of an APA and an amber - decent definitely! Overall, a good beer, especially for the style! I sampled this beer on draught at Kelly’s in Portland, Oregon on 09-September-2006.

Draft @ random Indian place in Seattle. Pours a deep amber-brown color; creamy off-white head with excellent retention and fine-bubbled lacing; gorgeous pour. Dried red fruits and light wet malts in the aroma; nicely dry. Medium mouthfeel: creamy, ideally carbonated presence in the mouth; dried red fruits, earthiness, and a lively perimeter of citrus and mineral bitterness; incredibly drinkable and pleasant amber ale; lovely. Medium finish: dried red fruits, toastiness, and crackers; nicely dry and toasty throughout.

RBSG 2004 on tap: Murky orange with a rocky white head. Fruity aroma with oranges and grapefruit. Starts and ends both sweet and bitter, full creamy body.

Handpull at Whiskey Creek, Keyport, WA.
Pours a thick orange amber, like a melted sunset in your glass. A subtle blend of hops and sweet biscuit eminate from the brew. Flavor is a malty grapefruit with a floral finish. Nice, lingering mouthfeel. Pleasant and light; perfect with fish and chips midway through sailing around Bainbridge Island.

Growler courtesy of scrizzz. Thanks! Pours a hazy tangerine color with a medium persistent head. Nice lacing. Faint nutty aroma with a bit of caramel, berries, citrus and stone fruits. Taste is leafy hops along with caramel, faint nuts and a woody, spicy hoppiness that re-emerges in the finish. Peach and other dry stone fruit notes as well. Slightly watery, though very well balanced. Creamy texture. Good beer.
