Commercial Description:
Smooth and drinkable is perhaps the best way to describe this ale. The choice of Cascade hops provides a very recognized flavor to this popular beer style.

Please note that on my older reviews I used a 100 point scale. To make up for any scoring discrepancies, all palate and apearance scored are assigned a neutralized 3/5.

06/11/02: This looks nice with a big billowy head of foam that goes away after a while. I like the smell of this. It reminds me of fresh hay. The beer tastes sweet with some spice there.

Boottle. I wish I could remember where I picked up a bottle of this stuff. It appears to be about 2 years old. A Clear amber color with a very small head but still carbonaton. Not oxidized at all. Nice malty, old ale taste but just a tad sweet. I’m sure this was a very good beer back in the day.

Clear amber in color, the head is moderate, the lace in sheets, both off white. Nose is malt, lightly floral, clean and fresh. Front is malt sweet, the top light, quite acidic, dry, lightly hopped. Good clean drinking beer. Ranks #716 on my current 1000 beer list.

Pretty good, but pretty average. Everything you’d expect from an american pale ale. Nothing more or less. Balanced, good...very drinkable. A well made classic. A great comparison standand for a tasting with your buddies.

Pours with a decent sized head that quickly goes away, on a clear orange body. Light hops aroma, light tasting body, end slightly bitter. Would make a good gateway-beer for people who think marco Canadian lagers are good.

Better than average local session brew. Nice flavor with just enough Cascades to give it some bite. Even better on tap or kegged.
