From a 22 oz bottle purchased locally. Poured into a 0.5 L glass. It’s been a while since I’ve had this in Seattle, let’s see how it’s made the bottle trip to Los Angeles. Aroma is floral and a little spicy hop with some caramel and toasted malt in there. A clear burnt amber color with a thin, tight tan head. Nutty and toast malt flavors with a clean bready biscuit malt backbone. Balanced just slightly to the bitter with some earthy hop flavor coming through. I think it has lost some of it’s freshness, there is a touch of staleness to the malt and a bit of lemony tea to the hop profile. I will have to compare this again then next time I’m up in Seattle.

Dec 17, 2009 12 oz bottle from Bier Stein. Pours a medium brown with a small tan head and not much in the way of lacing. Aroma of yeast, caramel, citrus hops all muddled up together. Flavor hits all the same notes, but it’s hard to discern them from each other. Pretty much a hot mess this beer is.

Oct 29, 2009 Medium body, with a deeper color. This beer was a bit sour. Perhaps it was aged too long.

Oct 18, 2009 A dark amber ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, restrained hops, heavier on caramel malt. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with butterscotch, veering on an Irish Red, nutty, German like hops. Interesting. On tap at brewpub, Sept. 12 2009.

Oct 3, 2009 Good light hop aroma. The flavor is pretty normal for the style, but as hoppy as I’d expected.

Sep 22, 2009 Pours a light amber with a thin head and some lace. Barely any smell, just a hint of citrus and caramel. Taste is mild with some toasted malt and slight bitterness.

Sep 12, 2009 Bottle. 5.3%. Clear amber pour, deep copper/red with a weak tan head, little retention. Aroma was nutty, and sweet malts. Taste was very grainy and bland. Not extremely hoppy at all, a lot of malt and grain in the taste, but fairly smooth on the finish. A drinkable ale, but nothing that stands out.
