On Tap at Sockeye: Deep mahoghany color with ruby tones. Nice lacing too. Aroma is fruity and of sweet malt. Taste is a combination of fruits, caramel, maltiness, citrus, hops, and a hint of spice. Featured a nice medium body and finished clean, moderately crisp yet smooth. I’d gladly have another...

On Tap: the brewer called this an english pale ale, I would tend to agree. Pours a nice golden color with a small head, aroma is sweet and bitter. Taste is sweet from malt, some bitterness, light citrus tones, and a bit of fruitiness. Not as intense as a esb. Very pleasant.

Draft: Dark orange / amber pour with a nice frothy head. Solid blend of floral and citrus hops, a little bit of pine, and some malts to balance. A well done IPA from Sockeye!

On Tap at the brewpub. A very murky yellowish tan with a large creamy off white head. Lots of heavy lacing. Aroma was a yeasty, banana sweet belgian symphony. Flavor however, ad these similar notes but much more subdued. Feel was thin, light and barley carbonated. The belgian flavors were faint but pleasant, wish it had a little more body.

On Tap at the brewpub. Nice very hazy red, amber with a very large persistant creamy light tan head. Aroma is medium malts with a quite bitter woody bite to it. Tastes quite bitter but lacking many of he nice citrusy flavors that come w/ that hop bitterness. Very rich a full bodied. Creamy and softly carbonated. Long lasting sharply bitter aftertaste.

On Tap at the brewpub. Pale slightly hazy yellow with a nice thick white head. Light grain aroma with nary a hop note. Flavoe was again light, soft and pale. Some paper notes that made it seema bit stale. Very lightly hopped. Feel was thin and fairly fizzy. Refreshing cold beer on a hot day, which I suppose is its purpose.

Draft: nice medium/dark amber color with a decent white head, nice lacing as well. Sweet malty presence as well as citrus and floral hops. Clean, crisp flavor and very drinkable.

On Tap at the BrewPub A clear light golden with a modest quick white head, and spotty lacing. Light grains and easy on the hops makes it refreshing and clean. Very slight bitterness at the end and a light feel. Pleasantly surprised.
