Frisky amber-hued organic fruit and grain-styled ale so typical of Northwest brewers. Initial hop bitterness, beckoning toasted barley sweetness, and distant burnt wood sensation give way to lively spiced malt finish.

Fair golden-hazed medium-bodied Canadian fare. Fire-roasted barley surge depletes marginal dry-hopped spicing and latent grapefruit-pineapple fruiting reminiscent of less efficient India Pale Ale. In need of crisper bitterness.
