Pours reddish gold with a bit of off-white head. Aroma had some floral hops and a bit of fruit. No citrus notes, which surprised me, but more of subtle strawberry notes. The hops take a back step to the unsweetened fruit flavor but return for a soft floral hops finish. Slightly overpowering bitterness.

On tap at the Beech Tree. Pours a clear orange with a thin to medium sized white head. Pine, earthy grain and light citrus. A little thin, light malt and a big quinine bitterness. A little one dimensional, but not bad.

Aug 18, 2009 Released in June apparently and sampled on draft in August, so...something may have been lost. but the nose was subtle, musty, with a small hint of berry...very certainly not very strong smelling. The color was bronze with nice microscopic bubbles woven together nicely on top like a silk sheet. Minty, somewhat stale hop flavors in a cardboard-like way. I can’t really make out what the willamette is bringing to this beer, everything it muddled to the point if incomprehensiveness.

Aug 5, 2009 Draft at SFR. Pours dark straw with off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, hops, citrus. Tastes of caramel malt, tannic, citric, with some lemongrassy hops and earthy notes. Decent, but I agree that there are too many tannins in this, giving it an iced tea feel.
