Commercial Description:
This top fermenting amber-colored ale is brewed using generous amounts of malt and kettle hops. The trademark of this ale is its beautiful hop bouquet and taste that comes from a liberal dry hopping of the highest grade Cascade hops during the secondary fermentation. The malt firmness of this ale comes from the perfect mixture of two-row malted barley, carapils, and caramel specialty malts. The ale has an original gravity of 1060 and is fermented at 65 degrees farenheight which imparts the classic ale fruitiness to the brew.

clear amber, thin beige head, nice sweet citrus aroma, good body, tasty sweet carmel malt flavor with good hop character and a mild bitter finish, flavor does not quite live up to the aroma but is still very nice, a quaffable pale ale

Bright amber colour. Lightly floral and citrusy aroma with a slight toastiness. Low bitterness. Some woody, citrusy hop notes but a fairly light, watery production overall.

Draught at Sheffields, Chicago
Hazy light amber color. An ordinary APA, quite dry and strongly hopped, not much body. Unfortunately, it’s spoiled (apparently, a problem with the keg).

Bottle at Brickskeller... Commercial description suffices. Very good beer. If you like other amber ales that I have ranked fairly high, this one will not disappoint.
