Description
The reason Jamie Emmerson and Irene Firmat started Full Sail in the first place was to build a company that was completely different from the ones where we’d previously worked. It wasn’t about business as usual. It was about finding our calling in life — about truly appreciating our “human resources,” and balancing work, life, family and friends in a way that makes life truly worth living.
Determined to make world-class beer in our own backyard, one of our first, and perhaps best, decisions was to invest in new, state-of-the-art brewing equipment. So we bit the bullet, laid down our borrowed cash, and spent the better part of 1987 installing the new system. Our love for the environment is what drives our sustainable practices, so pure water, local ingredients and responsible processes are poured into each and every tasty pint.

Bottle from a supermarket in Oregon. Aroma is sturdy caramel malts, notes of toffee and ripe fruits with a hint of hops. Flavour is almost medium sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Agreeable American Amber with a bittersweet finish.

Bottle from a supermarket in Oregon. Aroma is grassy hops and soft tropical fruits with grainy malt and a floral/perfumed aspect. Flavour is moderate sweet with a decent bitterness. Body is medium. Decent and drinkable as a beer, flavour is alright, but not a good IPA at all.

This ale initially burst forth into the glass like a nitro charged stout, but the creamy head settled quickly onto a amber beer with coppery highlights. An aroma of citrus and melons greeting the nose. Almost perfectly balanced between malty sweetness & hoppy dryness, it settled on the tongue just to the sweet side, saving a smooth hoppy dryness for the finish.
