Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy lending it strong notes of grapefruit as well as lighter notes of dust and grass. The flavor is sweet mlaty with strong notes of grass, leading to a dry and very bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Only about the three dozenth time I’ve had this so I figured I’d take some notes. Hazy amber colour. Chewy, caramelly, earthy nose. Malty and warming, with hints of peach, toffee and alcohol. A fairly firm hop bitterness lies underneath. It’s always been the most consistent, reliable brew at Skagit.

Bottle. Rich amber beer (slightly hazy) with a dark-cream colored head. Piney aroma. Piney/grapefruit flavor with slight caramel backing. Resiny pine lingers for a long time. Medium body. Good bitterness.

Bottle: Muddy copper pour with a smaller biege head. Nose is citrus and floral hoppiness with a bit of malt presence. Flavor is dominated with floral hops, light pine, citrus, and caramel malt. Dry, lingering hops finish.

Rich, warm malty aroma. Kind of light smoke. Deep amber color with a white head that filmed quickly. Medium bodied. Very moderate carbonation. Start with a sweetness that is hinting chocolate, probably caramel, and quite roasty, smoked. Not a lot of hop here. The whole thing is complex with hints that could be wood, peat, and who knows. It seems complex. After it sits for awhile, a sip is definitely chocolate. Go figure.

Grassy floral aroma. Lemony gold color with a frothy white head that went five fingers and more. Aroma of cotton candy as the glass approached the lips. Nearly medium bodied. No real carbonation bite, but there is a lot of carbonation - exploded in the mouth. Flavor begins nicely bitter, must be the chinook, but I don’t get a lot of pine. More floral spice. Definitely some sweetness that resembles a Belgian ale. Really great stuff.

Golden colour. Hoppy nose is very grassy with hints of apples. Moderately bitter, grassy...strange hop. Some bready malt character, light alcohol. I’m really not sold on this particular hop character...not flashy enough to carry a beer.

(Bottle 65) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a clear, amber golden with a tall, dense, off-white head leaving laces. Lightly sweet caramel aroma. Medium body with sweetish caramel notes, some fruit and a rather brutal, bitter hoppy finish. Quite unrefined and unsophisticated - just not my idea of a good IPA. 160607

Draught. Aroma of raisins and alcohol and sap. Flavour of malt, sugar and alcohol. I admit I’m not that familiar with Scotch ales. Deep reddish brown colour with a hoppy, alcohol finish. This is something to sip on a cold rainy evening.
