Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a nice light tan head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of hops, fruit, metal, and flowers. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruit and metal, as well as lighter notes of hops. The finish is dry, metallic, and bitter.

Dark Golden Brownish-orange. attractive color, nice low head, with lacing developing quickly. Fruity, bitterish aroma, lots of hops. A touch of sour, with a touch of malt and sweetness as well. Not hugely aromatic or complex, but satisfying and appetizing. Nice malty caramel flavor, with good fruit, a touch of sweetness, and more malt and caramel than I expected. Pretty strong hop finish. Good bitter kick comes in with the swallow, and last a good long time. This is a very nice pale ale.

This was a kick back to the PNW. The bold amber color held a malty nose at first, but then after a couple more whiffs hops seem to be more present than they first were, this is Seattle in a bottle. A creamy thick head and the caramel malt, it reminds me of Wild Rose IPA. It starts off with a hoppy mouth then caramel comes in and finally hoppy once again in the finish (similar to thier amber in that sense). The body is VERY smooth, which I really enjoyed. My higher ratings are likely due to the fact I drank this less than two weeks after it was made and it tasted very fresh.

No head whatsoever. very mild hops on the nose, with some faint orange, hazy amber, nice rounded body with a chalky end, hops are more present at the beginning but dissipate quickly to reveal the malt. Some sweet malt near the end.
