Our Estate NW Style Ale uses both Willamette and Cascade hops grown exclusively for Hopworks on San Juan Island. These hops impart a fresh, crisp and stunning fruitiness, coupled perfectly with aromatic floral herbaceousness. A rich malt body and warming finish are followed by a subtle, balancing hop bitterness.

Tap at Hopworks Bike Bar, Portland - 07/11/12. (I recorded this @6% but nothing to back this up on the web). Lightly hazed golden with a very thin head. Nose is hops, floral tones, caramel malts. Taste is pine, hops, bitter grapefruit. Medium bodied, smooth on the palate, bitter finish. Decent enough.

Estate version bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a hazed (lightly), copper hued body with a small, off-white head. Aromas are somewhat sweet, grainy and lightly of honey. Floral, some cantaloupe. A touch of herbal hop and grapefruit. Flavors are mildly estery, citrusy and lightly spicy hop character, sweet, malty, and caramel. Medium bodied, some sweetness in the finish with fuller carbonation.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours hazy orange amber with a creamy/bubbly beige head. Aromas of light stone fruit and something herb/floral. Med+ body. Flavor is sort of Belgian. Medium stone fruit, yeast/spice, citrus/earthy hop. It has a lingering low level of maltiness in the finish, but there’s enough spice and bitter to put that in place. Rather mouthsmacking.

22 oz. bottle, split several ways, pours a cloudy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma of dry caramel malt, dry citrus hops and a hint of dried fruits. Flavour is both strong on the malts and hops, with a decent amount of sweetness, sweet / tangy tropical fruits, finishing on the fruit notes and some bitter, hoppy orange peel. Solid, if unspectacular strong ale.
