Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a medium white head that dissipates slowly to a wispy film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal hops, toasted malt and fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a grassy hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft at Standard in Portland, OR on 1 June 2013. Poured a slightly hazy amber with a thin, but dense white head. Aroma of floral hops, pine and tropical fruit. Grapefruit hop flavours with bready notes and some caramel sweetness. Nicely balanced bitter finish of hop resin and grains.

Red with thick white head. Drink this in a flagon. Sweet caramel aroma. Balanced malt flavor with a peaty finish. I drank this while singing Scots Border ballads. This goes well with the tough music of the border.
