Feb 23, 2008 How is Anchor Steam more readily available than this brew? This one is way better... Bigger bottle, not sure if it is 22oz or not. Pours a slightly hazy yellow/orange color. Fizzy white head that hangs around as a film. Smells earthy hoppy and grainy malty. Tastes malty and somewhat metallic. Hops are subdued and very earthy. Medium body, nice, active yet smooth carbonation.

Feb 21, 2008 The most well-balanced pale ale I’ve had. Nice and light with just the right amount of hops.

Rich orange, tiny head. Beautifully hoppy aroma - new world hops, citrussy and fruity. Fairly malty body, but a huge bitter hoppy bite. Sticky and resiny, leaving a long bitter finish. Cascade used very well - other brewers could learn from these guys.

Feb 20, 2008 Bottle, has a mostly clear copper pour with a white head that is pretty persistant for the most part, eventually the bubbles receed to a ring, effervescent in the glass, aromas of malt, bread, fresh aromas of grass and flowers from the hops, the hops just seem to jump out at me, do not know if I got a really fresh bottle or was caught off guard, has a nice hop citrus bitterness, some malt sweetness and fruit flavors with a good bitterness in the finish that lingers, mouth feel is good, I was a little surprised at the hop aroma and bitterness found in this beer, sort of stands out from other Pale Ales, very nice.

Feb 17, 2008 not at all what I would expect from a pale ale. a golden color instead of the typical amber. smells like a fruit basket with a floral hoppy note to it. nice malt backbone with the usual piney/ spicy hops. smooth drinking.

Feb 17, 2008 This is a very interesting drink - not your standard pale. Very sweet, almost belgian, malt body with a soda-cracker malt essence. Pronounced citrus component and well placed hop profile. Love the bottle art; its nice to have a couple Anchor bottles in the fridge - classes up the joint ;)

Feb 17, 2008 Cloudy orange color with a lot of bright white head. Nice malty aroma. Flavor is hoppy with a strong grapefruit twang, a little sweetness, and a metallic aftertaste. Not bad.
