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.

2004 draught @ Barfly in Rochester, NY. Pours a pale whiteish-yellow with some light copper tinges. Small white head. Aroma of tons of floral hops, light pale malt. Flavor is hoppy, but not hugely bitter, with a smattering of lightly sweet malt to round things out. As it warms, more honey/caramel tones appear, and the hops gain some citrus. The body, which was a solid medium, with very lively carbonation was perhaps the best part; it didnt die a watery death. Flavor seems pretty average, at least pretty fresh as well.

Pours copper with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma is lightly malty and floral. Taste is moderately sweet with notes of grapefruit, citrus and a medium dose of hops. The commercial description of this brew had me expecting a big PacNW hop character but it was pretty subdued. Somewhat of a bitter metallic aftertaste. Starts off with overly aggressive carbonation which mellows out over a a few minutes. Overall, not bad but not great either.

Poured a dark golden color with a slight haze to it. The aroma was strong with hops. The taste was smooth and didn’t leave a bitter aftertaste.

This beer had a refreshing taste to it. It didn’t have a strong bitter taste either. It had a golden color. It is one of the good beers I have had.

Bottle pours golden, small frothy white head that settles to a dishwater like film, fairly attractive lacing, with subtle carbonation.   Straight forward hops on the nose.   Quite grainy on first sip.   No real hop bite that I had in the aroma.   Medium body, not quite medium mouthfeel.   Finishes rather flat, not very crisp, with only a minor hop tinge but mostly grains.
