Bottle from Harvest Foods in Moses Lake. Deep amber with silky beige head. Malt dominates the aroma, nice caramelly scent. Malt also provides most of the flavor, with some hops at the end drying the whole thing out. Close to an English IPA.

12oz can poured into keg shaped glass. Canned on 3/15/16, 2 weeks old, so pretty damn fresh. There is no discernible hop presence on nose or flavor. Malts dominate with light oat-like flavors. On the nose, the malts are pretty husky and dusty. Ends with a cut straw flavor. Its very decent for a malty, under 5 abv, blonde ale. I would like a completely different beer, something lighter, crisper, and less malty. But this is fine for what it is.

Bottle from Special Brews in Lynnwood, WA. Pours ruddy copper with a slight beige head. The aroma is plum/raisin with a treacle background. Med + body. There’s heat, but it’s not obnoxious to me. Flavor is medium treacle with some darkish fruits that seem rather plummy. Far from dry, but far from sticky. There is some bitter to help with the malt, tho not a lot. With the heat and flavors it suggests a BA beer, tho it’s not really woody. Imagining Irish Whiskey, but ... no such luck.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours translucent dark gold with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus, tho mildly so. Med body or so. Flavor is citrus/veg/herb with a decent mildly roasty malt backbone. Rather clean. Arguably finishes citrus/herbal; reasonably bitter. The flavors are not especially strong, but it’s reasonably bitter and drinks well.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours slightly ruddy copper with a large beige head. Aroma is moderately dark/sweet malt with mixed hop. Flavor is malty, with mixed hop and some definite wood notes. Sort of a roasty barley wine; sort of a malty DIPA. Not a trace of heat for me. Went down quite a treat. A little bit warming. There’s enough bitter to nicely balance the malt.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours brown, even dark brown, with a beige head. Aroma is mildly dark malt. Not really roasty or anything. Med body or so. Flavor tends to match aroma, with some wheatish notes, some mildly sweet chocolate notes, and some balancing bitter. It’s very nice when you’re not in the mood for a hop monster.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours translucent orange/gold. Citrusy aroma. Flavor is light roasty malt and some citrusy hop. Tastes good; nicely bitter. Not so malty as many APAs, which IMHO is a good thing.
