Bright, toasty, lots of malt, with lots of crystal malt, some alcohol. Nice hop integration, good piney character. Well-balanced.

16 oz. can, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of resinous hops, a little pine, and dry bready caramel. Flavour is nicely balanced between the resinous hops and caramel malt, but I want more hops (might be the age). Well-made though, especially for a style one doesn’t see much anymore.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear auburn red with small off-white head. Pine hops, crystal malt, light booze, slightly muted, but could be age (~5 months).

On tap at Cloudburst on Shilshole, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fairly muddled in hop expression, with earthy hops, not much else. Flavour is rather muddled, with earthy hops, some doughy notes, and basically just a muddled hop bill that obscures any character from the hop varietals. Not terrible but pretty underwhelming.
