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.

Had this at the Pinhook in Durham, NC. My friends were recommending it to me, but once I had it, I could not enjoy fully. The tangy, semi salty, semi sweet, semi sour flavour ruined it for me. Bad batch, or is supposed to be like this? Unique, but not so good for me.

On tap. Pour is cloudy golden color with small white head. Aroma is pleasant citrus hop aroma with some nice underlying maltiness. Mild pine hop as well. Flavor is true to nose and very refreshing. Solid and easy to drink, I like it.

12oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a slightly hazy gold with a sparse white head. Pretty subdued aroma of citrusy hops and some carmel malt. Solid malt base to this one with a crisp hop bite, but not a whole lot of bitterness. On the lighter side of medium body. Nice lingering dry finish from the hops, but not a mouth puckerer. Very drinkable, a solid Pale Ale.

Bottled. Pours out in a hazy golden colour with a small white head. Crisp and dry aroma of flowers, lemon-zest and grass with notes of lychee. Medium to light-bodied with notes of peaches and straw with a crisp medium-bitter finish of grass and lemon-zest.

This is a very tasty pale, but not as unique as some of Founder’s other brews. It’s a soft, creamy beer with mostly citrus and floral hop flavors.

medium gold pour with awhite foamy head Aroma is floral and light citrus hop with some biscuity malt under that. Flavour is more of the same. Floral hop dominates, some earthiness to it. Light maltiness.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a cloudy gold with plenty of sediments and a small white head that leaves a few bubbles at the surface and a thin white rim. Aroma is subtle, with earthy hops, citrus, grass, and malts. The flavor isn’t quite as quiet, with all of those elements along with straw, alcohol, honey, yeast, and stronger hops than the aroma. Light-medium bodied, bitter, and refreshing. Very nice APA.

Bottle pours golden with a white head. Aroma is grassy, citrusy hops, and a little biscuity malt. Flavor is much the same with a nice long bitter hop finish.

had in a 12 oz. bottle, pours dark golden honey color. Has a great flavor and hoppy taste. Scent is hops, grass, citrus, and thick malt. A great brew.
