Can: Instant aroma of citrus fruitiness and caramel malt as soon as the can was cracked. True amber color with an ample creamy sand colored head. Tastes maltier than expected with a deep earthy bond to the floral hops. No citrus, like the nose would have suggested. Lingering bitters are bright, but not obtrusive. A downright drinkable amber from a can.

Can at post Borefts BF 09 tasting. Amber, lasting beige head. Good malty amber malts, easy drinking hop. Interesting enough to make you want more, not so intense you couldn’t drink a case of it. Good. Just the kind of thing to take with you fishing and drink all day.

Can that I picked up from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon, consumed 15-10-09 pours orange with a slight orange tinge, off white head which is a bit filmy, also touch of haze and medium carbonation. Some toffee in the bite, touch of stickiness and sweet malts but these are more than balanced out by the crisp refreshing nature of this beer. Soft in the mouth, a little flush of fresh hops, very pleasant. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Location: 12 oz can from Norm's, 8/10/09
Aroma: Caramel and matly, toffee, light hops, light spice
Appearance: Hazy amber color, 2 fingers of lingering off-white head, some spotty lacing
Flavor: Smooth tasty beer, mostly malty with a light hop backing
Palate: A bit dry, solid mouthfeel, sessionable
Overall Impression: Not often do I buy a beer from Oregon in Md and go to rate it and find out I'm #29. Odd... I wonder if this one is just starting to get a bigger distribution network? Either way, tasty beer. Not overly exciting, but pretty solid and sessionable. I'd drink this beer again, definitely would make for a nice tailgating/camping/outdoor drinking beer.

Can from Downtown Wine & Gourmet in Harrisonburg, VA. Pours a clear copper color with a medium frothy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel and toffee with some distinct resiny hop notes in the finish. Taste is nutty with caramel and citrus hop notes. Tastes very much like a bitter. Medium-full bodied. Well crafted and very much hitting the spot right now.
