On Tap a the Bend Brewery/Taproom hazy redish light brown. Persistent fine light tan head. Soft slightly sweet earthy toasted malt flavors. A little peaty. Not very Scotchy and a bit close to an amber. Nice flavors, well done, a bit tame.

On Tap a the Bend Brewery/Taproom Quite dark black for a porter. Thin but lasting tan head and lacing. NIce roast flavors. Subtle and easy to drink. Honestly not much different from the Pass Stout right next to it. Good full fairly robust porter.

42nd Floor Bottleshare. Big thanks to Wingman. Hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry and with decent carbonation. Soft sweetish malts, a thin cream. Mild orangey hop. Nice mango led tropical fruits. Spice and mild pine. Light semi dry finish leaves citric peel and pine lingering on. Nicely tropical.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Dave. Pours cloudy orange with a frothy, off-white head. The nose has some hearty piney hops, pale bread, semi-ripe citrus. Medium sweet flavour with notes of peach, pine needles, dry pale malts, straw, grass. Medium to full bodie dusty fine carbonation. Warming finish, lightly resinous, with more line, rindy citrus. Not bad.
