Draft at Special Brews. Rosy red-brown. sweet amber malt aroma. Pale, red-amber body. Sweet first then sour grain. Solid, but not for me.

Draft pour at special brews. Pours a cloudy red color with a thin head. Nearly absent malt aroma. Flavor is heavy malt sided with a nutty finish. A little on the bland side in my opinion. Nothing unique going on. I plan to give this another try in the near future. I feel like I simply head a bad situation and experience. Just alright.

mcberko (10105) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 22, 2014
On tap at Rockfish Grill / Anacortes Brewery, pours an opaque amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out sweet bready caramel malts, balanced with just enough hops. Flavour is dry and pronounced on the bready malt as well, with just enough floral hops to balance. Well-balanced but pretty unadventurous. Okay.

hayduke (3925) - Eureka, California, USA - MAY 26, 2011
On tap at the brewpub showing up a deep copper color with a thin white head Nose of roasted malts and floral and pine hops/. Medium body and smooth clean mouthfeel. Flavor is a good balance of roasted malts and hops with a touch of nuttiness. Finish is lightly dry and bitter. Very nice for the style.

22415brewery (379) - Washington, USA - FEB 4, 2011
Fairly cloudy and murky with minimal head. Strong deep orange hues with amber highlights. Aroma is some caramel and catty citrus hop notes. Tastes of medium caramel, slight roast, a nut-like flavor and a very prominent citrus finish; a tad acrid with fairly strong fruity esters.

Ibrew2or3 (7565) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - MAY 1, 2010
On tap at the brewpub/restaurant pouring up deep copper with thin white head standing around the rim in stark contrast to the dark bodied liquid. The aroma seems to have roasted malts mixing with pine hops in less than moderate quantities. The taste has some roastiness and mild to moderate pine hops. Into the finish a thin layer roast enhanced dryness is met by growing pine like hop bitterness. It doesn’t get all that roasty or all that bitter but adds interest with a drying and refreshing mouthfeel.
