On Tap at the Portland taproom. Clear very pale light golden pour with a thin line of white bubbles. Faint subtle light grains and just a hint of hop notes. A little bready on the finish.

On tap at Assembly, pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted caramel, and a touch of resinous hops. Flavour is very malty, with resinous hops still present, toasted caramel, and bready malt. Decently balanced, but definitely a maltier amber. Solid.

On tap at Assembly, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus hops upfront, with a crisp biscuity malt base. Flavour is very citric and grapefruity especially, with citrus hops and crisp biscuity malt. A bit spicy, with a grapefruity finish. Good stuff.

On tap at Assembly, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of roasted barley, with medium oats, and a hint of dry cocoa. Flavour is medium-bodied, with a very nice hearty oat character, with a touch of espresso and dry cocoa. Hearty and oatmeal-like. Great stout.

On tap at Assembly, pours a cloudy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out some pithy stone fruits and gentle piney hops. Flavour is fairly gentle for an IPA, with piney hops, stone fruit pith, and biscuity malt. Fruity and piney, with little bitterness. Clean and drinkable, but lacking character.

On tap at Assembly, pours a cloudy bright orange amber with a small white head. Nose is loaded with fresh oranges, caramel malt, and resinous hops. Flavour follows as expected, with fresh oranges, resinous hops, and caramel malt. Too malty for my tastes, but it's brewed competently. Decent malt-driven IPA in the city of hops.

On tap at Assembly, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted caramel and biscuity notes. Flavour is very malty, with plenty of caramel and bready malt. Not really what I expect from a blonde — way too malty — but it's pleasant enough.
