COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Crystal hops take center stage in this hop forward amber ale. The hops bring a delightful mix of floral, fruity and spicy notes. Victory, crystal and chocolate malts form a full malty body with a very slight roast character.

On tap at the Portland Brewpub. Clear copper color and off-white/beige head. It smells, like, not good, dude. Taste is off but drinkable, this one should’ve been aborted and recipe burned. Not the worst amber ale I’ve had, but close.

Hazy light orangey-amber, blueberry hop aroma. Toasty malts, fruity hops, again lots of blueberry.

mcberko (10105) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 9, 2014
On tap at Deschutes, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma is off, with loads of vegetal notes - bleh. Flavour is thankfully better though not much better, with metallic, herbal, and vegetal notes. Really quite off the mark here. Not good at all.

bhensonb (12795) - Woodland, California, USA - JUL 25, 2014
Tap at the Portland venue. Pours hazy amber with a white head. Aroma is malty with light fruity hops. Near med body. Flavor is light fruity hop over light roast malt. Finishes a little hoppy, a little spicy, a little malty and a little bitter. Nice overall.
