Dec 26, 2006 (Tap) Pours a hazy golden color, with a small head. Nice hoppy aroma and taste, yet very balanced as well. Great aroma compared to other beers that I sampled. Pretty average palate. A great example of a excellent pale ale!

Aug 31, 2005 Wow! What a great bold fresh hop beer!! Yum-o!! Had it on draft at the Bodega downtown La Crosse. I think they have another keg. Can’t wait. The color was medium and head same. I just thought the hop character that was so well complimented by the rest of the characteristics of this beer made it GREAT!

Jun 5, 2005 Deep orange, slightly unfiltered cloudiness. Nice, sweet, grassy floral hop bouquet. Flavor is sweet honey, caramel, maple syrup and a tad of hop bitterness. Some cask qualities. Citric astringency. A little thinning on the palate and in the finish.

May 25, 2005 Gravity fed rom the firkin behind the bar. The body is dark orange with a white head. The aroma is pine and soap. The taste is grapefruit with some oak and a little burnt bread crust. This is a little one dimensional.

Apr 29, 2005 A moderate amber head that laced a bit. Residual fizz kept the head intact. Full pine aroma and up front grapefruit. Amber-orange, a bit hazy. Falls off to other citrus, some biscuit and lemon. Has some body and a long finish. More aromatic malt would have helped. Fine, but unbalanced - even for an APA.

Apr 11, 2005 On cask. Very still and amber. Rleatively clear. Strong Cascade aroma. Great hop flavor. A bit thin but very tasty. I assume the name reflects 7 hop varieties starting with C (Casade, Centennial, Chinook, Cluster, Columbus, Crystal and maybe Czech Saaz?)

Mar 31, 2005 Cask. Lightly hazed dark golden liquid. Only a few bubbles, adrift on top. Thin malt and mild hops aromas. Fairly thin feel, but slides quickly across the palate. This one seems to grow on a person as it is imbibed. The malt has a long and lasting part, but not a major part. A very balance session type brew.

Feb 21, 2005 Cask. Slightly murky amber color with no head. Hints of apples in the aroma. Very nice apple and wood taste with a large helping of fresh grains. Smooth, very smooth. Damn tasty.
