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.

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.

From a growler. Fruity aroma. Taste is fruity and biscuity. Very interesting and drinkable. Not a typical amber.

16oz draft 5/13/07(Sharp’s Roaster & Ale house)-A cloudy amber body with a decent white head. Aroma of nothing. Hoppy and malty in a funky taste with a roasted malt finish. taste not bad but a little funky being unfiltered.
