Captain Sig's Northwestern Ale
Pours a hazy amber with orange hues cutting through at the edges. A large fluffy and craggy tan head won't let go. When it does, a this webb of lace is left behind. Piny, resiny hops float through a mass of sweet malts to the nose. Aroma is thick and earthy to an extent. Taste is a bit more subdued than the aroma would lead you to believe. The hops are initially subverted by thick caramel malts, and there is not much balance to speak of. The hops become more apparent after a few drinks in, but something is still a bit off. Some subtle light fruits exist way underneath it all. Mouth-feel is thick and a bit above medium bodied. Not really feeling this one, but it's not horrible either.
