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.

12 oz bottle. Pours orange with thin head. Aroma of citrus and hops, some floral. Flavor is similiar, with a big juicy grapefruit punch. Medium to long bitter finish, but not over the top. I must admit I was not expecting much from this seasonal ale, but it turned out to be a decent PNW IPA representation.

Bottle. Poured orange gold with thin white head. Moderate lacing. Floral and citrusy aroma. Hoppy flavour. Balanced with some sweetness to balance the hop. Lasting middle of the tongue finish.

Bottle. Pours an amber orange body with a white head. Lots of citrus and grapefruit. Floral with notes of honey and caramel. Some etoh but well masked by the hops.

A nice, tastey, citrusy IPA. Pours a hazey bright orange colour with a fairly large white head. Plenty of fruit on the nose, and a sweet floral aroma.

Bottle via homebrew swap. Thanks! Copper golden body, white head w. nice lacing. Nose is piney resin, grapefruit hops. A lot of malt in there - caramel, butterscotch. As the aroma continues a bit of spiciness rises out of the hops. Alcohol is there but not overwhelming. Flavor is loads of caramel, piney resin, fruit - orange, strawberry, apricot. A hint of toffee. Very fruity hoppy finish. Wish I could get this around here!

12 oz bottle, via kenb. Pours a clear copper with a one finger fizzy off-white head. Decent retention, minimal visible carbonation. Nice vibrant citrusy and floral hop nose with a little toasted crackery malt. Light caramel sweetness. The flavor is well balanced for a West Coast IPA, bright citrusy hops taking the lead with a slightly sweet toasted malt finish. Moderate bitterness on the biscuity finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slight resiny stickiness and moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, a pretty nice IPA. Nice and bright, the way I like ’em.

Orange/amber, with a white head. Aroma is citrus, sugar, and malt. Flavor is citrusy hops, caramel, and malt. A nice, solid brew, but nothing spectacular.
