Nice easy drinking pale ale with coffee notes, light and smooth.

On tap at Rooftop, pours a hazy bright golden amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy coffee notes, almost like dirt, with toasted biscuity and light bitter hoppiness. Flavour expresses the earthy coffee notes upfront, with subdued floral hopping and toasted biscuity malt. Nothing special but respectfully constructed.

Sample at Brave Horse Tavern. Slightly hazy amber-golden color with a medium thin white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, hops and coffee. Light to medium body with flavors of zesty citrus, grassy hops and roast coffee. The finish is hoppy with a mild coffee aftertaste. Above average overall.

Draft pour at the Collective as part of Rooftop brewers night. Cool to get beer from a brewery I’m interested in, and not have to take the trip to Seattle. Backyard wins on this one. Darker golden pour with a thin patchy head. Subtle coffee singled aroma. Flavor is coffee forward, which I always thinks works nicely in a lighter beer. Not getting much citrus as its advertised, but I don’t think it’s needed. The beer is good just the way it is. Enjoyable stuff.
