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.

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.

Pours a light copper color with a large fluffy white head. Aroma is grain, astringency, and citrus hops. Flavor is grainy, astringent, and a nice citrus hop finish. I think it was slightly infected.

Pours a cloudy golden color with foamy white head. Aroma is very hoppy with a nice malt backbone. Flavor very similar to aroma; pretty malty for a pale ale with a lot of floral hops.
