Description
We have always been driven to craft the best beer we can, and (in our opinion) the true challenge, consistency. Constant innovation is exciting and engaging, but consistent core beers that you can always depend on, is a challenge that equally drives us.

Our approach to beer development is different than most. We outline the desired finished product, it’s appearance, aroma, mouthfeel and then reverse engineer the ingredients and processes to get our desired final product. Knowing and understanding not just individual ingredients characteristics, but how they interact with each other make this possible.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dark roasted malt, dark raisins and a little chocolate. Flavour mirrors this, bringing out loads of dark roasted malt and raisins. Very deep, with no residual sweetness at all. Almost burnt on the finish. Great stuff.

Draught at Seattle Tap Room (Sea-Tac Airport)
Dark amber color with small head. A good Amber Ale, balanced, with a bit of depth; caramelly, dry, with correct bitterness level; lightly nutty; clean, with no flaws (which are otherwise common in Amber Ales).

Draft pour. Dark pour with a tan head. Chocolate and coffee flavors, but pretty mild. I enjoyed it.

Pour is a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma is an ok hop followed by some sweet malt. Flavor is a light dank hop with some of the sweet sticky malt making an appearance. Finish is again a light bitterness with some malt presence. It’s ok, a bit heavy in the malt dept. but hops are here just not aggressively so.

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. Pours a clear copper color with a medium off-white head that recedes slowly to an outer ring. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of citrusy hops and roast malt. The finish is mildly bitter with hops and grapefruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

Hazy copper coloured body with an orange glow and a thinnish, one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of nice toasted malt, earthy hops, a bit of caramelised sugars and a hint of cherries and fruit. Medium-bodied; Strong earthy malts up front with a little sweetness, a hint of fruit and not much else - fairly mild at the end. Aftertaste shows a bunch more earthiness and alcohol and a bit more sugars - fairly nice to finish. Overall, a relatively nice and refreshing beer with some good tastes for the style, but not a complex or great beer - on the more caramel and fruity side of EPAs, but nice. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from Whole Foods in Seattle (WestLake), Washington on 08-February-2013 for US$2.99 sampled at home in [the real] Washington on 27-February-2013.

Can from Malt & Vine. Pours translucent copper with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of mild cat pee with mildly roasted malt. Full bodied. Flavor is very, very citrus. Somewhat burning citrus. Malt is almost lost. Some might say this is rather crude. Nothing sophisticated about the hop here. So? Those who don’t like lots and lots of hop bitter should avoid this very nifty ale. Brilliant effing ale!

Pint can. Pours copper with a medium, bubbly head. The aroma is honey, floral hops, pine, and corn. The flavor is mild bitterness and a good malty sweetness. Medium body, with a velvety, silky feel. Overall, this is a good, well balanced pale ale. Nothing special or complex, but tasty.

On tap at The Burgundian Tavern, pours a clear golden with a medium foamy white head. Aroma of dry fresh hops, with quite a lot of freshness and bitterness. Flavour is a tad metallic, with fresh bitter hops, dry citrus and not much malt backbone. Very fresh, held back only slightly by the metallic notes. Solid stuff.

Draft - Nice fresh flowery citrus hops. Clear gold with long lasting head. Very light and refreshing, the high alcohol content is masked well. Slight taste of resin and mild bitterness. A session IPA.
