On tap at Golden Valley, pours a clear amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is gentle, with bready caramel and a touch of resin. Flavour is more robust, with a good mix of resinous hops and bready caramel malt. Has a nice woody component to it as well. Quite decent.

On tap in Beaverton. Pours a dark copper color with a medium white head. A big sweet caramel nose, some perfume. The flavor is mostly dry malts, caramel and dust, some light citrus, a bit of toffee. Enjoyable.

Draft at the brewpub. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet and very malty, but also with notes of berries, leading to a dry bitter finish. Nice.

Bottle. Poured pale red with thin fast dissipating head. Mild hoppy aroma. Light tangy flavour with a slim body. Light hop finish. I would not call this aggressively hopped or a complex beer.
