Pint consumed on-tap as a guest beer at Northern Lights Brewing Company in Spokane, Washington. It cost me $4.50 and was both the cheapest and, ironicially or not, was the best beer I had at NL today.
Poured a dark copper color, with a tiny off-white head. The bartender at NL served the pint super full with virtually no head on purpose, so that can't really be held against it. Modest, spotty lace.
Fairly hoppy in the nose, with citrusy, piney and floral hops, along with a distinct malty backbone. Very well balanced.
Taste was much like the smell. The hops are first to hit the tastebud bridgehead, but they are quickly followed by the bready, slightly caramelish malts, which keep out of the hops way for the most part but still maintain a substantial, well-balanced counterpoint.
Medium bodied, with a fairly clean mouthfeel for the style. Carbonation was spot on.
This beer tasted better than anything I tried at NL, even the Winter Ale that is normally my favorite there. After having a couple of NL beers, I only had enough money and sobriety for one of these, but I'd have loved to have several more, as they went down quite easily and was very tasty. I'm not a huge fan of the town of Pullman (Raised a Husky fan, plus I lived there for 9 months while attending UofI - it was the longest 3 years of my life), but if this is a representative example of what Palouse Falls is doing down there, I may have to make a roadtrip down there.
