On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head. A big sweet floral and caramel nose. The flavor is toasted malts, banana esters, a bit bitter. Solid.

This will for sure be a memorable beer for me. Celebrating the wedding of a good friend next to beautiful Mount Hood. We met 10 years ago, and it’s been many great times. Poured at the local ski lodge. Twice. Maybe three times. Clear copper pour with an active bubble head. Caramel and short spice aroma. Flavor is matching. Easy drinking, malt forward amber. Very nice, and huge congrats to Katie and Chris.

Draught at the brewpub
Dark amber to mahogany color with compact head. Caramel brew, with pleasant mild sweetness; compared to most Amber Ales, this one expresses some better malt and a hint of fruity hops, while in the final there is some roasted nut.
Nice.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a dark amber color with a medium thin light beige head that dissipates to an outer ring quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of mild hops and malt. Light body with flavors of toasted malt and hops, along with a touch of citrus. The finish is short and malty with a short-lived hops aftertaste. Barely average overall.
