On tap at the Beaverton location. Pours a mostly clear orange color with a medium white head. A sweet fruity bubblegum nose. The flavor is similar: berries, earthy grain, citrus. Smooth and mostly clean.

Bottle. Brown red pour with thick head. Strong pine and citrus note in aroma. Flavour has a caramel streak, rather pleasing in an IPA. Light and speedy finish.

On tap at Bailey's Taproom, pours black with a tiny tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, toasted nuts and mild cocoa. Flavour is mildly tart, with slightly sour dark fruits, red wine notes and wood. Quite complex even though it doesn't strike me as a stout. Fairly tart and vinous - lots of depth. Atypical, but great.

Tap at OBF. Pours a hazy rose sort of color. Aroma is strongly tart/sour red berry - seems raspberry. Med body. Flavor is not so sour raspberry. It’s dry. It suggests sour, but maybe tart is appropriate. It’s quite tasty. Brilliant.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a small off-white head that goes over a hazed golden body. Very faint aroma with a few faded (nearly British like) hops. Some honey, dough and biscuit following. Taste is better and slightly herbal hops, with a bit of citrus, with a short duration. Light carbonation and dryish mouthfeel.

Bottle courtesy of gunhaver. Pours clear copper with thin white head. The aroma is pretty full with brown sugar, prunes, raisins and ripe cherries. The taste is dark fruity sweet with raisins, smooth sweet cherries and prunes followed by brown sugar. It dries out a bit into the finish with a pulse of sweet malts taking the experience into the after taste.
