Dec 5, 2008 On tap at McGregors. Beautiful looking copper with a thick head, not perfectly clear.
The aroma is classic hoppy notes of grapefruit and pine. The palate is balanced with sweetness and maltiness giving way to dryness and resin. Nothing spectacular and nothing unusual, but very good and very drinkable.

Dec 1, 2008 All-around solid ale. Very balanced with some floral hops peeking through at the finish. Smells a little zesty/citrus-y. Didn’t think it would be a particularly special beer, but you can’t always judge a beer by its label (kind of like books). Definitely going to try some more North Coast stuff.

Nov 21, 2008 From a 12 oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is caramel and pine. Color is a copper amber with a half inch tan head. Crystal clear. Malty and toasty but with bitterness to back it up. Some hop flavor in the finish with more pine and citrus. Medium bodied and dries in the finish. A great beer, one of my favorite Amber Ales.

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Thought it was a really hoppy amber at first. Very nice. Very hoppy, but balanced in there. Malt flavor gets a little stale but is no match to the hops. Excellent.

Nov 17, 2008 poured a copper colour with a medium off white head.
Aroma was malty, earthy, light peppery tones.
Malty flavour with some citrus hop and a tin-metallic bitterness in the finish.

Nov 2, 2008 On tap @ Thrash Zone, Yokohama. Light mouthfeel coupled with a pleasant copper taste. Kind of stradles the line between Pale Ale and Amber Ale. Hints of of hayseed, caramel, and saffron are also to be foiund and explored in the tase. Not bad.
