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.

Draught from Sugar Maple. Cloudy orange with a thin off-white head. Smelled of citrus & floral hops. Starts sweet & ends up in a citric hop burst with a dry finish. Definitely hoppy, but somewhat balanced.

fairly decent in flavor, but this beer wins in the aroma department. smells bright and fresh, and is the perfect compliment to any burger.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small/medium white head. The aroma is mildly sweet malt with light citrus and floral hops. The flavor is mildly sweet bready malt and light citrus (grapefruit and orange). Light/medium bodied, slightly bitter finish.

My palate loves Cascade hops and like the commerical description states its a testament to Cascade. A perfect relaxing after-work beer. Plenty of floral citrus spice, hazy golden in a pint, nice head, balanced thoroughout. Very well made ale from the folks in Michigan, very well made indeed.

Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head. Mild hop aroma, not overpowering at all. Nice sweet malt with a little bit of bitter hops. Decently balanced with a slightly bitter finished. Not amazing, but would be a lawn mowin’ beer...if I had a lawn.

Decent average pale ale. Aroma of malt and citrus hops. Color is ok. I don’t have much more on this.

Enjoyable but not remarkable. Pale gold, small white head, sweet grapefruit in the nose. Easy to drink, a tad thin rather than heavy, notes of malts, intensely citric hopping, long bone dry bitter finish.

Lightly hazed golden liquid with a smaller dark cream colored head. Caramel corn and a touch of hops in the background. Light sweet malt mixed with lots of hops. Long and lasting hops bitterness in the finish. This is a light APA, pure and simple.
