Tap @ Cassidy’s Pours a bright orange color, almost pinkish. Anyway, it made me think of grapefruit juice. Aroma of cascade hops and some malts. Taste is a blast of hops but not too assertive. Tart, firm finish. nicely carbonated.

Overall not a bad beer. My bottle got a little skunked, but its not too overpowering. Pours a clear, slightly hazy goldenrod with white head that sticks around a little. Flavor is crisp hoppage, with notes of grass and grain. Finish is clean. Decent.

Other than a fairly indistinct aroma this beer is awesome. Great hop flavor throughout with a nice dry hop finish. A good malt flavor as well but this is good enough that they should take it off of seasonal and make it a regular.

This beer is bubbly with a light frothy head. It has a light herbal aroma. The citrus flavor is refreshing.

Clear amber with an off white head. Grassy ganja skunky smoke aromas with earthy floral; pretty nice, actually. Medium body. More straightforward flavor is tasty floral hops with honey sweet pale malts. Easy drinking and flavorful.

22oz bottle. Cloudy orange pour with a thin white head. Mostly malt aroma with hints of grassy hops. Fruity and yeasty flavor with a crisp hop finish. Good Spring beer (even though it’s July).

Drank this bottle a few nights ago and it was quite good. Slightly dry and more crisp than their usual brews with a less hop bite (although there is some nice hop bitterness present). Well balanced brew with a slight herbal/flowery taste. Enjoyed this.

22oz bottles, I thought I reviewed this already. Amber pour with white head. Aroma is floral and citrus (lemon). Flavor is very floral little malt. Hop forward but not enough. Fairly boring really.

Bomber. Medium to deep amber body with an off-white, fizzy head, mostly diminishing. Malty aroma out front. Bread, caramel, grain, sweet raisin. More subdued in the nose are the floral hops.Just a hint of citrus and pine. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The bitterness goes up a notch in the finish which is lightly sweet. The bitterness sticks around a long time along with a bread crust taste. Medium body with a velvety texture. Moderate to lively carbonation. Far from an in-your-face APA like Alpha King. Less carbonation, less crisp and clean. Subtle hops below a maltiness. Nonetheless, it works because of the balance.
