5 oz draft @The Great Lost Bear. Deep black in color with tan head that laced even in the taster glass. Nose is coffee and roasted grain. Taste follows with tons of roasted grain, chocolate malt and a touch of vanilla. Lighter body with a char and ash texture. Nice job by Baxter. Would love to have this again, quality stout.

From 12 oz. can into a lager glass. Nice presentation. Deep amber color with persistent carbonation that produced a cap of thick ¼ inch white head. Nose has fresh, vibrant hops with some fall-type spices. Flavor has a bit of graininess with decent amount of malt, followed by the spice mixture and rounded out with mild pine bitterness. The bitterness is almost IPA in nature. Malt and spice make it balanced well enough. Overall it has nice drinkability.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Lemon/lime aromas. Crisp with sour lime front to back with a lasting bitter lemon pith finish. Little too much on the citrus...

Draft Portland Brewfest. Aroma of sweet malt and fruit hop undertone. Malt sweetness mellows to an Earthy hop with a crisp bitterness. Lots of bready malts as well. The body is light and goes down easy. Simple and straight forward. Nothing here is going to “blow you away” but it can be a nice session brew.

Draft Portland Brewfest. Clear golden color with a small white head. Carbonated well. Nose of grain and weak floral hops. Flavor of light pale malt, subtle light hops. I don’t like being real negative about somebody’s brew; I will simply say that this was to light and bland of my taste.

Cask at GBBF 2012. It pours hazy golden amber, with a minimal off-white head. The nose is pine, resin, grass, hopsack and leaf. The taste is pine, leaf, grass, zesty, resin, varnish, light spice and alcohol warmth, with a very dry, bitter finish. Medium body, low carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Enjoyable bitterness. Good, but I can’t help to think that this would be even better on keg....

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2012, Olympia, London. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, tropical fruit aroma. Typical US DIPA territory, tastes hoppy, malty, sweet, sticky, plenty of grapefruit. Smooth and so easy to drink, delicious!
