Commercial Description:
This rich tawny colored ale has an assertive hop flavor derived from a blend of the finest imported and Northwestern whole hops. The taste of a smooth malt background is quickly followed by a distinctive and slightly lingering Cascade hop finish.

Bottle from Bottleworks. Pours golden with a light haze and white head. Very sweet aroma with hints of dough. Very light with a weak sweet flavor and not much going on except a long finish.

On tap at some place in Port Angeles, WA. Color was dull gold with a creamy white head. Aroma of apple, bread and fruit. Flavor was pretty sweet for style. Sweet malt, fruit and apple.

On tap at the brewery in Port Townsend, WA--Looked identical to the Boatyard Bitter but with a slightly larger head. Golden-light amber body. Grainy, caramel creamy nose with a mild citrus bite. very easy to drink but not stand out.

Thanks to Enniskillen for the bottle. Well, I’m going against the grain here, but I enjoyed this. Poured a nice copper with a decent white head. Aroma was mostly biscut and caramel malt. Nice malty flavor as well. Has a roasty caramel sweetness. Nice body. Refreshing.

fresh hop aroma with orange and bubble gum. slightly cloudy with some sediment. one inch head quickly fell. medium bodied texture and balanced flavor. the malt and hops are very even throughout every sip where you usually find these flavors in peaks and valleys. makes for a good session.

Bottle: Gold, copper, nice head and lacing. Nose of creamy sweet malt, biscuit and light grassy hops. The flavor is grassy and unbalanced, tangy mouthfeel, light tart body and an odd taco-y finish. Ok.

bottle from safeway. pour is a very light orange-yellow with a 1 finger white head. smell is citrus and grass. slightly bitter taste, lemon is in there, this is a more of an IPA than a PA. nice taste, good beer, especially for a 80 degree day in sunny Pacific Northwest.
