This beer takes you by suprise because people don’t expect this much flavor to come from an amber. A perfect beer for a summer night out with friends, or a hearty meal. A remarkably well crafted beer. I’m very sad that I moved away from Washington, as they only sell it in kegs and CA hasn’t even come CLOSE to Washington (or, Oregon for that matter) in craft brews.

Flavorful, yet very drinkable, strong but not overpowering. Not heavy either; its not like drinking a loaf of bread.

I enjoyed this beer and would recommend it to anyone. Very complex, yet lighter finish and extremely drinkable. Slightly fruity and a bit of nut flavor. Could cross for fall, spring or summer due to its complexity and drinkability. If you enjoy a heavier amber, this would not be a good choice for you. However, if you prefer blondes to lighter flavored ambers, you can’t go wrong.

Simply the best. Not only does this beer smell great, look great, and taste great, but it is also very potent. I believe the Alcohol Content is around 8%, but I’m not entirely sure, all I know is it gets the job done. If you’re ever in Seattle, this is a must have!
