Oct 15, 2008 Different looking bottle. Pours a rich amber color with a small rocky top head. Nose is sour, stale malt, and a bit of burnt corn muffins. Taste is off and cardboard like. Just not good. This bottle may be old but I can’t see the remains of anything that was once good.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Had some age on it. Pours a near clear orangish amber with some whitish head. Nose wasn’t that offensive, floral hops and crystal malt, but the flavor had some issues. Astringent. But I can see how this would be alright fresh.

Sep 7, 2008 OK, I guess. Kind of a "by the numbers" approach. No real flaws, nothing outstanding. Decent mix of sweet and bitter.

Sep 7, 2008 While I am sure this is what I drank, I only finished it because I paid for it.

Aug 21, 2008 Ambers generally aren’t my favorite, but this was one of the more enjoyable ones. Reddish beer with fairly ephemeral head, hoppy and malty, easy on the palate.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Nice frothy head that stays. Not much lace though. reddish amber color with the instant smell of crystal malts and decent hops--Cascade. You can definitely smell the hops just as they promise in the description. The balance is very well maintained in this ale--one of my favorites of the Pac Northwest crowd. Sweetness with malty overtures, but always hops there to support. A very nice ale.

Aug 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with a fast fading off-white head and spotty lacing. Nose is caramel, toffee and some light floral hops. Taste is sweet caramel malt with some resin in the finish. Lighter mouth feel. An ok Amber.
