Commercial Description:
An American style pale ale, this brew is hopped four times using plentiful quantities of Cascade and Columbus hops. The flavor is balanced by a subtle maltiness obtained from five varieties of malted barley and a slight fruitiness, to produce a classic beer in the style of the Pacific Northwest. A clean crisp ale with distinctive hop aroma.

Bottle from Park Lane Liquor in Lancaster, CA. The beer pours a hazy yellow-amber color with a dense, thin head that burns off slowly. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Citrusy hops aroma. Medium-bodied with an astringent hops flavor along with subtle fruit and malt. The finish is moderately bitter but not particularly flavorful. Slight malt and herb aftertaste. Average all around.

Yellowish gold color. Slight haze and a thin white head. Aroma is light lemon and grassy hops. Flavor is a little breadiness with grass and citrus undertones and a little funk in the finish. A light and sessionable APA.

30-May-07 (12 oz bottle: Purchased 20-Apr-07 at BevMo in La Jolla, CA) Sweet mandarin orange aroma is pretty unique, but it’s matched by prominent notes of tart lemon and husky grains. Quite a varied and disjoint set of aromas, I must say. Significant corn husks and some DMS on the palate as well, mild background sweetness. The only real bright spot with this beer is the pleasant, mildly bitter, citrusy hop flavor that emerges toward the finish. For the style, there is an unexpected tartness throughout, but most noticeable in the finish. Medium-bodied on the palate. Dusty, chalky, dry mouthfeel despite the modest sweetness, and carbonation is medium. Cloudy but still slightly transparent, golden body is covered by a thin, whitish cap of bubbles that gradually recede to a broken layer while leaving some spotty and stringy lacing on the glass. Okay to try once, but not nearly enjoyable enough to buy again. But it’s probably better at the source than from the bottle.

Very clear golden pour, huge white head that stays and leaves tons of lacing. Aroma is bready. Flavor is grapefruit, citrus hops and melon. All the flavor is in the hops it looks like 2-row and just hops.
