Draft at Lucky Labrador. Dark amber, minimal head. Light malty aroma. Taste really takes off, malty, bready, caramel. Nice feel throughout, chewy.

On tap at Lucky Labrador, pours a clear bronze with no head. Aroma and flavour is really weak and bland, with astringent hops and British metallic malt. Pretty harsh off-notes making this pretty undrinkable. Quite bad.

Draft at the NW Lucky Lab in Portland, OR on 4 June 2013. Pours a light copper colour with a lingering white head, good clarity. Caramel and grain on the nose with some grassy hops. Initial peppery hop bitterness nicely balanced by a rush of toffee malt, but retains a good balance.

Tap at Hawthorne location - clear copper pour - thick, soapy lace - flavor is lightly bready, with a lot of bring fruitiness underneath - fairly crisp, american hoppiness (citrus, pepper) - not all that traditional, but crisp and quaffable - a little bit of buttery character on the tail end - decent.

Draught. Poured red/gold with medium white head. Moderate lacing. Faint but pleasant malty aroma. Malty sweetish flavour, a bit of hop in the finish. A not very bitter bitter.
