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.

A very good pale ale. Not much for malt notes, slight hints of bread. Very hoppy for a APA, tastes very much of Cascades. Overall a very good beer.

Bottle sampled. Pours hazy golden with decent size white head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, and floral hops. The flavor is sweet, fruit, citrus, and small hoppy finish. Good brew.

This was an average pale ale and nothing that I would really seek out on a rare basis. Worth a try if you can get it locally.

lol. "the perfect lawn movin’ beer" Thats pretty funny. Had 12oz of this great ale in a glass at the brewery yesterday. almost everything i expected, but I almost was looking for more hops. maybe because i just had a centennial before it, but this just felt like a weaker one. still good though, i should’ve tried this first.

A nice homage to SNPA and why mess with a good thing. A well balanced citrus hops aroma with mildly sweet caramel malts. Highly drinkable, clean aftertaste, but at 6% there wont be too many bottles in the session.

Bottle - Pours hazy light copper with foamy head. Aroma is cascades hoppy bouquet with some light malt and biscuity notes. Flavor blooms from floral and citrus hop notes to toasted malt and caramel sweetness finishes with some spice but a bit piney.

Appearance: Pours a clear, deep golden body with a bubbly, lasting off-white head. Smell: Soft citrus aroma with some toasted malt notes floating around in there, too. Taste: Light caramel malt flavor with a citrus hop snap to it. Only a slight bitterness, with a green tea-ish leafy aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied, and a bit watery; could definitely benefit from more body. Moderately carbonated. Drinkability: Inoffensively light and crisp, though what you gain in sessionability, you lose in depth of character.
