Description
First and foremost, Mike & Cathy opened Laurelwood as a reflection of what they wanted in a neighborhood restaurant. As the parents of young children, they wanted a family friendly environment that did not end and begin with being simply offered a high chair. As native Pacific Northwesterners, it was important to support our local farmers and purveyors & to support sustainability and the organic movement. As neighbors, it was important to create a place where friends and families could meet to have a relaxed dinner and a couple of drinks that supported their community. These are the factors that are most important to us and really help set us apart from other brewpubs and dining establishments.

Admin Note: In 2019, Laurelwood Brewing Co. was acquired by Legacy Breweries, Inc., parent company of Aspen Brewing and Ninkasi.

What is it with hazy pale ales? Hazy body with white head. Looks like an New England IPA. Aroma and flavour are pale ales.

Bottle Julie picked up at Made in Oregon PDX store. Pours hazy slightly ruddy amber with a creamy near white head. Aroma is primarily raspberry with a lime note. Near med body. Flavor is very, very lightly sour - mostly raspberry and wheat tho the lime is detectable when sought. Drinks really easy. It's berry sweet/tart in a mild way. Arguable touch of raspberry bitter. Drinks easy.

Poured up on tap at the airport brewpub where it exhibits a nice clear deep gold body that supports a thin white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up spicy dank hops with a vein of citrus running along the periphery. The taste delivers spicy bitter dank hoppiness flowing into citrus tangelo and tangy tangerine juice and a bit of a citrus hard candy sensation. To midway it picks up a thin complimentary floral hop bitterness. Pretty solid IPA with plenty of hoppy depth.

Pours bright coppery gold with a white head. Citrus aroma - soda without the sugar? Med body. slightly roasty malt; flavor is kind of an unsweet lemon lime thing. Fairly dry. Nicely bitter. With time the citrus is just citrus. My fatigue no doubt. Arguably crisp. Definitely tasty.

Draught. Orange body with thin white head. Pleasant bready, sannie malt aroma. Malty flavour with a hop edge. Finish starts thin, and gets fuller and better.
