On tap @ the brewery during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours a fairly cloudy golden orange appearance with a thin tan head. Aroma has a lot of bubblegum and banana but not overdone like many American examples. Smells nice with light floral notes. Low bitterness. Banana, lemon, yeasty flavor. Wow, this one is pretty fucken good. 1 in 5 American-made German Hefeweizens is worthy of my time. This is one of them. Cheers!

On tap @ the brewery during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours a clear golden appearance with a white head. Cracker malty nose with some moderately spicy, light onion, piney hops. Crisp flavor. Low sweetness. Medium plus bitterness. Cracker, toasted malty flavor. Hops are spicy with a bit of garlic. Nice, easy drinker.

Hazy deep blond color with creamy head. The aroma has some hop, animal character, straws, biscuity malts. Lean but soft mouthfeel; the malt flavor is quite nice, then complemented by a good hopping; light residual sweetness; a bit astringent in the final.
Nice.

Muddy light amber color with compact head. The aroma is mildly spicy, a bit metallic, some bread too. The mouthfeel is smooth, there is some nice yeast presence, light residual sweetness, light anise character; quite bitter for the style.

Cloudy blond color. The aroma is quite spicy, coriander and then some clove. God body strength; the flavor is rather spicy as well, there is a mix of coriander, clove and anise; the rye is giving some character too. Good bitterness level, with just some hop resins in the final.

Amber color, clean. The aroma is a bit dusty and yeasty, not too far from British bitters. The mouthfeel is dry; caramel flavor with some vegetables touch, light yeast presence too; correctly bitter.
Could be an English Bitter, nothing exceptional.

Muddy blond color. Cloves dominate the aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth, there is enough wheat character, and even more clove and banana; moderately sweet.

Nice aroma, deep, hoppy, malty, with hay; balanced. Dry and lean mouthfeel; the malt has a straw accent; good hopping, providing some hop resins, not much fruity though.
Good, lean beer.

Draught at Serious Biscuit, Seattle
Red brown color with creamy head. It has a very rich chocolate and roasted malt character, not ashy, with moderate sweetness.
Excellent. --- Beer merged from original tick of Northwest Porter on 06 Sep 2016 at 19:12 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Draught at Columbia City Ale House, Seattle
Dark color, almost black, with creamy head. Smooth, but with a strong coffee character, dry, roasty. I can’t understand how this is a Porter (rather a Stout), but it’s not a bad beer.
