Cloudy, medium amber with a thin but long lasting head. Balance is the word, malty with a nice hop profile a almost prefect session beer

On tap at the Portland Brewing Co.’s Portland airport pizza pub, sampled 7 August 2004. I vaguely remembered this beer’s name, so I figured my recollection must have been purposeful. I was right- this was a great amber ale. Hazy orange body, thin off-white (light cream) head. Citrus, brown sugar, toasty, caramely aroma. Flavor was quite unusual for an amber ale, with rather intense citrus (lemon, orange) dominating the profile with little associated bitterness. Caramels rounded out the body. Had a nice carbonation "bite" that enhanced the body’s sweetness. One of the best amber ales I’ve tried...is it coincidence it doesn’t taste like any of the others?

Pint ( or 3), at Gregorys Lounge near Sea-Tac. A nice darkish amber coulour beer with a good sized creamy/frothy white head. It has quite a spicy aroma for an amber , with notes of citrus and maltiness. This is quite an unusual amber ,very sweet and spicy with particular notes of peach flavour.,Bitter after taste. Nice and smooth on the tongue woth lowish carbonation. A very drinkable amber, unusual for sure,but i liked it a lot.

Nice yeasty, full bodied, amber that fills the tummy and has plenty of hop and malt flavor-superb balance. Drink many of these if you can, but they are quite filling. Nice brew.

On tap in Spokane. Poured amber with tan head and light lacing. Nose of of caramel malts, and floral hops. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is malty and the finish is lightly sweet. Very drinkable, and a better amber than most.

Deep red witha well-laced caramel head. Smooth in the mouth, with honey and clover dancing with caramel and lightly roasted almonds. A very enjoyable brew.
