one of the best browns i have had in quite some time. drinks beautifully on tap, and still has quite some flavor straight out of the bottle. great flavor with tons of aroma.

Nice beer to drink at this time of the year, autumn. Malty and sweet. Brown colored. Its a well balanced hoppy ale.

Dark brown, moderate head, yeasty aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet with a pinch of hops. Great beer.

WOW! This one just left me wanting more and more. Slight sweetness and ale texture, leaving a long lasting pleasant taste in your mouth! MORE please.

Just enough subtle hops to keep this brown from being too sweet, which bugs me about other browns. Nice balanced beer, probably my favorite brown ale. Next time I’m in Portland I’m going to make a point to hit up this brewery!

Now this is a beer I could drink on it's own. I can smell the malt and the hops, but more importantly, I'm getting better at distictly separating the differnt aromas and flavors. At first I couldn't locate the malty flavor, but after a few minutes I came back and there it was! I'm so happy. The hoppy flavor comes to this party, but doesn't try to be the life of it. I liked this one.

Pours brown with a light brown generous head that sticks around. Taste is malty with fruit and cherries present. An excellent example from an excellent brewer.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown to red color with a nice tan head. Aroma was both sweet malty and bittering hops. Tasted good when eating something salty, otherwise it was too sweet. The bitterness seemed to be an afterthought to balance a sweet beer. Overall it was a good drinkable libation.
