Commercial Description:
A refreshing, golden amber brew, with Cascade hops from the Yakima Valley. Adding Cascades during conditioning captures the rich aroma of the hop, and completes the clean, well-balanced flavor of our American pale ale. Crisp, refreshing and exotically aromatic.

Pours orange/copper into a shaker. Head quickly recedes with tear lacing. Upfront malt and well-balanced. Dry, bitter resin finish.

Drinkable APA, with nice Cascade hop flavor, but nothing really clicks to make it memorable. Maybe a better lawnmower beer than anything.

Solid APA, bit of a bite afterwards. Strong hops flavor, dry finish. Caramel color, with a thin head. Overall a decent brew.

Bottle. An easy drinking after work beer. Could down this little fella in a matter of seconds. Suprisingly rich hops to go a long with cool, crisp taste. Thanks Chris Black!

Bottle. Clear amber/orange color with minimal head. Aroma of caramel malt and citrusy, slightly spicy hops. Very clean smelling, no trailing yeast odors. Citrusy, hoppy flavor up front and on top of a light caramel malt base. Finishes fairly dry. Medium bodied. Not too bad.

Medium honey body with a medium ring of bubbles and a thin patch film of bubbles. Nose-perfuney, cereal, stale hops. Taste-medium bitter, light hops, crisp, corn flakes, straw, smooth hops, and slightly metallic. Tastes like an IPA with some pale ale notes thrown in as an afetr thought. Not a bad beer, but not one I would go out of my way to find.

A pretty damn good pale ale. Very drinkable and pretty smooth for an pale ale. Not as much alcohol in this one as there are in other pale ales of this calibre(mostly IPAs though), but his certainly does not detract from the nice clean ’Cascade’ hop taste of this one (I am not sure what a Cascade hop is and why it is any different).

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of a Pale Ale. Slight malt and hop presence. A little spice as well. Also smells like ciggarettes an dmud. Poured a hazy copper with a medium, half rocky, half creamy, off-white head that mostly lasted. Sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor of bittering hops and roast with a small hint of caramel malt. Moderatly bitter, but not sweet. QUOTING Muzzlehatch, "As VENOM said, this has some IPA characteristics, namely stronger hoppiness than usual in an American Pale Ale. Very smooth, just a tiny bit of bite at the end, but not a lot on the nose or middle taste." Well balanced. Medium body. Lively carbonation. Short bitter finish. Overall, and average APA with a good bitter bite.
