Commercial Description:
Named for the majestic creatures which embody the proud spirit of the Republic of Cascadia, Wild Salmon Pale Ale is a light bodied and beautifully balanced Northwest-style pale ale. Its gentle sweetness, drawn from Pale, Carastan, Vienna, Cara-pils, and Honey malts is nicely matched by Chinook hops and late additions of Cascade and Willamette hops. Northwest Pale Ale enthusiasts will love this beer as much as they love the beautiful region which has inspired it. In firm commitment to our love of the Great Northwest, the people at Fish Tale Ales are donating a portion of the proceeds from sales of each case and each keg of Wild Salmon Pale Ale to the Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition, helping to rebuild healthy runs of wild Pacific salmon and steelhead. On draught or by the bottle, this treat from Fish Tale Ales is remarkably bright with a brilliant golden color and thick creamy head. Wild Salmon Pale Ale is sparkling and crisp with a fresh hop aroma and refreshing finish.

355ml bottle.
Pours a nice hazy orange-brown. White thin head that leaves a little bit of nice lacing. Aroma is dominated by fresh smelling citrus hops and maybe even some caramel as it warms. Taste is sour, bitter and floral, following the smell closely. Medium body, nice mouthfeel. Aggressive carbonation gives it a bit of a bite. Quite refreshing

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head leaving some laces. A little citrus and a little phenols in the nose. Medium body, lightly sweet malts and vague - very vague - citrusy notes and a short, dry finish. 270907

Bottle courtesy of Piscator 34: Poured a cloudy orangey/beige color ale with a big foamy head. Aroma of sweet malt with a nice floral hoppy touch. Taste is also quite sweet with some nice floral notes and a medium bitter finish. Body is quite full with limited filtration and good carbonation. I really liked how the hops provide a nice floral aspects without bringing too much bitterness to the beer.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold-orange body with a small white soapy head. The aroma is predominately vegetables and soapy bread. Brackish flavour with some bitterness and even slight sour notes. Not very pleasant at all.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is full of citrus, hops, and some light grains. A caramel-colored brew, with a few fingers of foamy head. Lacing persists on the glass. Hoppy flavor, citrus, with a bitter bite. Well-carbonated, bitter. Definitely has session potential.

Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, mds & tupalev -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a small lasting off-white head. Aroma: Ugh! Is there salmon in this? Quite unpleasant aroma of caramel malt, sugar, vegetables and fish!? Thankfully the flavour’s better but it’s still far from great. Flavour of grain, caramel malt, light stale hops and wheat. Average bodied. This is garbage.
