I wish I hadn't wasted so long to try this. Remarkably good.

Pours a burnt reddish orange. Off-white head. Nice!

Smells like herbal and earthy hops, with a bit of citrus. Taste is quite nice, with toasted malts, that same herbal/earthiness, a splash of bitter grapefruit and pine ... it's really quite complex. This is a solid beer.

Very drinkable, nice creamy mouthfeel.

Comes in that dark amber color, thin 1/3" white head. Some woody malt aroma, but nothing else really.

Lacks flavor. Bland, somewhere between a blonde and a brown ale in many ways. For those who found a pale ale too hoppy or bitter, like a melange of the more pedestrian flavor style beers.

Nice and mild amber ale, somewhat subdued from the norm for the NW. Amber in color with small airy head, malty, nutty, some hop bitterness. Not picking up any differences from the organic nature of this brew.
