On tap at golden Valley brewing. Pours out a rusty amber topped with a sand head. Nose is some rye malts almost wood and a sweetness. Taste is more of the rye taste some malty sweetness and a nutty touch.

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.

Keg at the Beaverton brewpub, 11/11/14. Golden amber with a moderate light beige covering. Nose is malt forward, dark fruit rinds, spice, hint of tobacco. Taste comprises sweet notes, dark fruits, caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Touch bland ... yawn.

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.

A golden amber ale with a thin creamy off white head. In aroma, a sweet buttery caramel malt with light mineral notes. In mouth, a sweet caramel and butterscotch, light mineral notes, so-so. On tap at Courtyard Marriott Portland, Oct. 5 2012.

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.
