Commercial Description:
A testament to Cascade hops in a bottle. This medium-bodied pale ale has a distinctive floral hop aroma and refreshing citrus flavor. You’ll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

This beer is golden. It has a medium sized white head. Not a lot of lacing. Sharp, piney nose. Straight-forward and watery with a pine-tree bite at the finish. Whatever I’ll drink anything.

Bottle. Pours a light yellow body with a white head. Smells like light pils malt with a hoppy light aroma of citrus and pine. Easy drinking lawn mower brew.

Pours light golden from 12 oz bottle, forming medium sized off white foamy head. Aroma of malts, hops and citrus. Flavour grassy hops with a tinge of malty peppery lemons. Overall average pale ale, was expecting much more from brewery. Drinkable, and tasty, but not too exciting, sorry.

12 oz. Hazy golden-orange with a lasting head and lots of crunchy lace left behind. Mild lemon and grain aroma. Flavor is lemon, eucalyptus, and grain with some toasted nut and bitter woody hop on the end. Long citrus, eucalyptus and wood finish is not so great. Light body is soft and dry.

Light orange, nearly golden clear pour with pretty might white thin head. Grassy, grainy, and slightly floral. A bit skunky. Bit of hops. Refreshing, but not as hoppy as many American pale ales, and really not overly impressive to me.

Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with a small, foamy white head. Aroma of sweet malt and citrusy hops. Flavor of nice sweet floral hops with a mild citrusy finish. Nice and refreshing. Tasty beer!

12oz from Sam’s, Durham. Pale cloudy golden pour, with a modest head and carbonation. The nose is lightly hoppy, with a hint of dry flowers. Very assertive malt presence, sweet and caramel (just a hint bready at times), and I found that there’s a bit too much, not quite balanced enough with the light citrus hops. The citrus flavors are there in the finish, but the body’s also a touch thin, making it a slightly watery ending. Solid, but not up to par with Centennial.

Nice, a pale ale that is in fact pale. Refreshing a drinkable. Non-intrusive hop nose, balanced and fresh. Some breadiness not much carmalization. Clean finish.
