12 oz bottle-pours a thin creamy off white head and amber color. Aroma is nice citrus/bitter hops, secondary malt. Taste is nice citrus/bitter medium hops, solid secondary medium malt-some sweet backbone. Well done session (A)PA. OK carbonation. Thanks Eddie Notch for bringing this one back.

Bottle. Small white head that went away quickly. Pleasant aroma. Nice citrus flavor, not very much malt to back the hops. Makes a decent session beer.

Pours a deep copper color with a white head. Aroma is malty caramel, and pungent resinous hops. Flavor is caramel with a bitter piny hop finish.

Bottle. Amber with a white head. Bright citrusy aroma. Sharp cascade bite with lingering bitterness. A little dark for an IPA but great, I love this beer.

Cascade through and through, I’d guess. Pleasant session beer and, to me, a very American tasting pale ale. Nothing spectacular, but quite nice.

Pours a sparkling amber. Aroma is of piney hops and toasted grains. Taste has a strong piney bitter taste and finishes with the toasted grains. Not balanced well enough for my tastes.

Clear, brassy-amber body. Small white head settles to a negligible film with a tiny edge. Sudsy, spotty lacing clings to the glass. The aroma reveals a creamy, light caramel base with toasted grains, mild floral hops, and hints of white fruits in the background. The flavor is very toasty, with ample, dried floral and grassy hops. I also picked up some buttery, slightly burnt caramel on the tongue. Medium palate with a disappointing, slightly astringent, bitter finish. Creamy texture. Nice brew that starts off strong but drops off a bit towards the end.
