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 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.

Bottle. Poured an hazy orange body with thin head. Aroma is very hoppy, malty. Flavor is full of hop juice, big sweet malty backbone. Slightly syrupy. Nice bite.
