A light amber ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, more fragrant hops than the IPA, lightly floral, pleasant but light. In mouth, good caramel malt with pinhey hops, oily mouthfeel, quite nice and herbaceous. On tap at Portland location, April 2 2010.

Bottle at the 2010 March Metro Detroit tasting. Poured dark brown with a brown head. Aroma had notes of smoke with an undertone grain and malt. Flavor was smokey as well with dark malts. There was no bourbon on the nose or the tongue.

Bottle thanks to porterhouse. Picture sent in to be uploaded. Bottled 02.05.09. Pours with a muddy brown body with a creamy bone colored head on top. Great retention and lace, despite the not too beautiful hue. Aroma of citrus, caramel, grass and light rotting fruits. Slight perfume and citrus. Taste is malt first, followed by citrus and sharp bitterness at the back end. Longish duration. Viscous mouthfeel, light bubbles. Something in the malt bill didn’t sit right to me. Yes the hops were a bit faded, but there was a sort of rotting orange flavor that I dislike (and am not use to with C-Hops, plus the Simcoe that my bottle claims).
