12 oz bottle. Pours slightly orange gold with a medium white head. Aromas of citrus hops, pale malts, some sweetness and what I want to describe as some mild strawberry aroma. Flavor is solid, with pale malts and citrus and spicy hops. Little caramel in there, too. Overall an excellent APA with a nice, strong balance of hops and malts.

This beer pours a hazy golden color with an off white head that is quite dissapating. The aroma is like a pilsner, with very faint aroma of fruity notes in the nose. The mouthfeel is light like a summer pilsner. Faint sweet malts in the nose. Some spicy Cascade notes in the flavor. Not too impressive. Not bad though. Guess a good lighter summertime beer. Good for a BBQ.

650mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours an uninticing pale yellow, with a bit of head and little carbonation, although the current low carbonation could just be that I opened the bottle a couple of small pours ago. Weak hoppy aroma. The taste hits the tastebuds immediately with hops upfront but it ends sharply, almost a bit spicy. No fruitiness or well-rounded flavours, unfortunately.

Pours a cloudy light orange with a medium, white, fluffy head. Lacing is present but not persistent. Initial aroma and taste is lemon and then the full-on hops flavor comes in with almost a soapy taste. Aftertaste is very dry and somewhat bitter. Overall very similar to SIerra Nevada Pale Ale but harder to find. If I had a choice I would probably go with Anchor.

Hoppy citrus aroma; Cascade hops all the way. Light body, a bit thin, perhaps a bit much carbonation. Very drinkable and refreshing on a hot day.
