Commercial Description:
An American style pale ale, brewed with pale and crystal malts and a touch of oats. Copious amounts of Cascade Hops are added late in the boil for a pleasant floral and citrus aroma. A very refreshing ale that may leave you wanting another.

Thanks for sharing, dansting. The body was medium gold with a white head. The aroma was pears with some cheap bread. The taste was lightly bitter grapefruit. There was also some sweet buckwheat pancakes. Pretty lame.

Nice and easy to drink APA. Aroma was pretty weak. Cardboard, grassy hops and a hint of caramel. Pour was medium cloudy gold with no head. Taste was nice and bitter. Grass, hops and a mouth drying bitterness. Just a thin showing of sweet light malt to balance it out, but not very obvious. The hops are the showcase here.

Very clear, golden color. A bit bland flavoring, but a strong Hoppy bitter aftertaste, although it doesn’t stay on your tounge too long.

Amber color with very little head. Smells of grapefruit and caramel. Thin body and not much carbonation. A little bitter and tastes of citrus and toffee. Overall it’s a pretty good beer.

Appearance: Pours a very clear body with just a hint of gold to it. Tiny white head dissipates quickly. Smell: So light! Just a hint of steeped grains and a mild citrus character. Taste: Again, so light! Slight taste of grain with a subtle toffee sweetness. Mild citrusy hops. Medium bitterness. Lightly bitter, watery finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It’s pretty embarrassing. Poor West Virginia.
