COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Big, malty, hoppy…all wrapped together to form our NW Red. A blend of five malt varieties commingle to create a dark red color and a big malt base to balance the generous amounts of hops that are added. Late kettle additions and dry-hopping with Ultra and Sterling hops bring out the hop character that many in the Northwest crave.

mcberko (10105) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 22, 2014
On tap at Buoy Beer Co., pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is way too sweet and medicinal. Flavour is the same - rather medicinal, sweet and dental floss like. Not good at all - something way wrong here.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Hazy deep amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and crisp. Great condition. A creamy floral spicy tangerine and orange with and undertone of tea. Tangerine gets spicier and the floralness sweeter. Finishes light with the tangerine spice lingering on. Unusual and very tasty.
