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.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a slightly hazy orange amber color with a small off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Fruity malty caramel flavor with nice hoppy grapefruit hints. Sweetish malty hoppy finish.

On tap at some faceless bowling alley in washington. Body was hazy honey not much head due to pour but good lacing evident. Nose is sweet honey, fresh leafy citric hop - real nice. Taste was caramel malt, fruity watermelon slightly, orange, citric hops, toffee, bitter finish. Only slightly carbonated. Decent session beer.

On tap @Tulalip Casino, Wa.: Cloudy amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel and apricot. Flavor starts sweet and fruity (peach/mango) with some malty caramel and a light grassy bitter finish. Full bodied and smooth with moderate carbonation.

This is available at lots of bars/restaurants in Seattle and I drank quite a bit of it. Cloudy orange with a nice creamy head. Well balanced amber with a malt profile that was almost too strident, but worked with this beer. A good amber and a good session beer, but make sure to make the time to try some of Seattle's other offerings.

A good and well crafted beer. However, I have drank it way to much and it is getting old, unlike some other beers that I drink a lot of. It has a colorful amber hue and a good head. However, there is something about it that is missing. It is not complete. Overall a good almost, pretty, close to it, solid ale.

Draft. Cloudy amber-chestnut color with a small white head that left nice lacing. Mild aroma of fine tea, light malts and citrus with a spicy sweetness. Sweet flavor with a full-mouth bitter bite, cinnamon and allspice with a lingering astringent finish on the back of the tongue. Full body, mild carbonation. Nice treat!

On tap at Henry’s Tavern in Portland. Cloudy amber with a medium white head. Aroma of floral hops and caramel. Flavor has notes of toasted malt, caramel, fruity berries and citrusy hops. Some moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with a a smooth creamy texture and subtle carbonation. Nice beer.
