Commercial Description:
This deep ruby red color comes from both German and British malts. It is generously spiced with local hops to have lingering bitterness and a romantic hop bouquet in the Northwest tradition.

Draught sample at the downtown Seattle location. Deep red colour. Too hoppy for me.

Draught sample, Seattle. Mild dry malty nose with light biscuit. Bit of fruity hops but not very aromatic. Copper amber clear with thin foamy off-white head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Light sweet maltiness with dry nutty roasted notes. Mild fruity hops with sweet saccharin finish. LIght nutty after.

A very hoopy entrance and nothing to smooth it out at the end. Nothing smooth or malty here.

Draft at Rock Bottom, Seattle. Bright reddish amber with a lacy off-white head. Pine and herbal hop aroma with with touch of malt behind it. Light body with medium carbonation. The taste is just lightly sweet with some toffee and a dry piney finish. Not so much over hopped as under malted.
