I find that as I keep trying new beers I find in local COOP I keep finding obscure winnners. This is one of them Pours dark amber wtih a nice slightly off white head that left good lacing. Nose of malts and hop. Very clean mouthfeel. Good flavors of malts with a nice hoppy finish.

12 oz bottle obtained locally. Pours a dark reddish copper with an average size and very foamy head. Floral aroma, with pine, vanilla and orange. Starts out very sweet upfront, then the citrus orange hops kick-in for the finish, and then finally some more sweet toasted malts in the aftertaste. Medium to full bodied, at least for an Amber Ale. This is a VERY interesting and unique beer. I LOVE the way the hops and malts compliment each other here. Masterful. I think I just found my new favorite session beer at $7.99 for a six...

Pours a three finger cream head that fades quickly to a ring leaving traces of lace. Almost cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Seems to be a malty nose. Starts almost sweet mid-finish hops dominate, not a bad amber. $1.55 for a 12oz bottle from John’s Market Tigard, Or.

Slighty hazy dark amber colour. Slight fruity hops overtop of a largely caramel malt base. Flavour is caramel, bland. Just another amber. Sigh.

Bottle: Nice rich, earthy malt nose with biscuit and toast hints; not so subtle toasty caramel sweetness, not too sweet or cloying; finishes with a fairly complex hop profile, especially for an amber; well balanced with character at each end; not bad at all.

You know this is pretty damn good for something that I was expecting to be just another typical amber ale that I was picking up for the rating. Almost sugary flavor, quite sweet and malty, but yummy not cloying. Some rich toasted malts with some caramel and just a little hint of maple. I love the hop profile this brings to the table.
