Deep dark brown coloured body with a cola-like glow and a ruby glow, all with a nice, deep two to three centimetre tall tan head that fades quickly and leaves just about nothing on top. Aroma of toasted malt, light pine, some orange and lemon scents and a dash of hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Deep malty and rich nutty flavours dominate here with the toasted notes, a lot of pitted fruit and some caramelised sugar shows right behind, with a light dose of toffee and some nuttiness on the finish. Aftertaste shows the toasted grain, a lot of pitted fruits and some noticeable sweetness along with a dry herbal bite towards the end, but the balance of malt and hops is just about right here. Overall, a nice and rich, nutty, yet floral and hoppy beer with more malts than hops, but robust and slightly bitter from the alpha acids, but more sweet and way more malty - with the nutty and earthiness coming through throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Union Creek Resort in Crater Lake, Oregon on 30-March-2021 for US$2,10 sampled in my hotel room here in Arcata, California on 31-March-2021.

Fairly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a raw honey glow and a thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white and soapy head that fades fairly slowly. Aroma of fresh-cut grass, hop pellets, bread, yeast, flowers and a dry dose of biscuity and slightly grainy malts. Light-bodied; Super mild malt flavours and some lemons show through with only a touch of grass and hay with a subtle sweetness of banana and flowers with a light sweetness and touch of citrus fruits. Aftertaste shows some hay and flowers without much else and hardly any malt for support - just a dry profile. Overall, a pretty mild and soft beer throughout with only a tiny dose of floral hops with a minor maltiness to support and no real depth or pungency in the flavours - fairly easy-drinking and maybe too much so. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from the Union Creek Resort in Crater Lake, Oregon on 30-March-2021 for US$2,10 sampled in my hotel room down in Crescent City, California on 30-March-2021 a few hours later, after crossing the state with my family.

On tap pours out a copper color topped with a small head. Nose is nice citrus tropical hops and the typical rye malt toffee sweetness. Taste is more of the nice hops along with the rye malts.
