Commercial Description:
This is the Cascadian ale brewed for the season of celebrations. Very pale and full bodied with a rich flavor imparted by Pale and Honey malt and assertively friendly hop character. The hop profile is quite distinct, featuring 100% Yakima Chinook hops in the kettle for bittering, flavor and aroma. In fact, this is the hoppiest beer yet from the Mighty Fish Brewers, and perhaps the hoppiest Winter seasonal you’ll have the pleasure to taste this year.

Acquired via trade with Chewy. Thanks man. Wow am I drinking a different beer than the rest of these people? Aroma was weak. A light hoppiness with some grass. Smells like a pilsner. Pour was a thick orange with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was very weak. Nothing in the front, but there is a hoppy aftertaste with hints of ginger ale (the soft drink). Drinkable, but not very good.

1/17/09 On draft at the Brewpub, Olympia, Wa. Aroma is heavy caramel blended with spicy, but not bitter flora. Appearance is clear gold with a well maintained white head. Flavor is rich with candilike sweetness and a floral but still grassy and earthy (never harsh) hop balance. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slight tang and medium carb texture. Overall, a beer that impresses with the ability to drink it quickly without compromising on big flavor.

Gummy grapefruit goodness! A smooth double ipa that warmed up my February day. Sparkling amber color with nice lacing.

Golden color with lacy head. Earthy Cascade hops in the nose. Taste starts off with a short burst of bitterness, then some malt, and a long finish. Very tasty. A little thin in the mouth but that’s ok because the tates makes up for it. This winter IPA makes me wish winter lasted from September through April.

V: palish orange, small head and a very clear. Very hoppy aroma with a crisp hops, floral and light on the bitter.

clear pale gold became nearly clear on the edges, aggressive head spilled out of the glass. tropical nectar aroma. Sweet honeyed base nearly escapes me as it gives way quickly to the dusty dry hop focus. Very good beer.

Nice hoppy winter ale. Pours a nice amber color with very little lacing and a short lived, creamy head. Nice citrus nose. Hops are upfront in the flavor with pine, grass and citrus. Good mouthfeel with a nice finish.

Clear amber with a fleeting head. Nice piney, grassy hop aroma. Medium body with light carbonation. Good caramel and nutty malt flavors with a strong grassy hop taste in the finish. Nice winter time IPA.
