Commercial Description:
Point Cascade Pale Ale is handcrafted combining special top-fermenting yeast and a dry hopping process to create this truly classic American Pale Ale. The intriguing character is derived from generous quantities of the choicest Yakima Valley Cascade hops and the finest crystal, 2 row pale, and Munich malts. The result is a delicious American Pale Ale with a signature fragrant hop bouquet and soft malt palate.

Pours a reddish golden color. Aroma is kind of sweet, with some nice hop scents. Flavor is grainy/citrus with a dry finish.

Pours a golden color with red highlights. Aroma of strong hops and citrus with some light maltiness. Flavor followed aroma, but had a slightly bitter yet crisp finish.

From a 12 oz. long neck twist cap brown bottle with a blurb about the pale ale on the neck wrapping and no freshness date. Made a decent appearance, poured a clear red hued golden with a small foamy white head that left a minimal amount of sticking. Had a faint piney/citric hop aroma and just traces of sweet maltiness. Medium carbonation and a slick, smooth light bodied mouth feel, above average drinkability. Had a big, but somewhat watery, piney/citric hop taste, a mild bitterness, a buried sweet pale maltiness and a dry, crisp citrus bitter finish.

too much for me, the hop flavor was very strong, also the finish was quite bitter.

Bottle - nice, unmistakeable Cascade hop nose. Cloudy medium gold body with a head of largish white bubbles. Decent Cascade flavor with a supporting malt background. Kind of thin. Okay - not great.

12 oz bottle. Pours crystal clear amber with a small head that leaves a tiny bit of lacing. Aroma is very light. Flavor has hints of spice and some kind of citrus. Maybe orange. Very slight. Seems like this would be a fine beer after cutting the grass on a hot summer day.

from the bottle. poured a nice amber with a white head head that left a small amount of lacing. aroma the yeast and hops took the front seat on this one than the malts came in followed by a mild spiceyness. flavor caramel and hops, pine citrus, malts with a slight bitterness to it. a very refreshing and easy to drink beer.

Pours a still, transparent copper amber with a thin-lacing white head. Aroma of nice fresh, piney cascade hops and some mild crystal malt. Body starts with a light caramel sweetness, some nicely balancing fresh piney hops and a hint of citrus. A decent APA but could use some more malt and hops. I’m glad to see Point trying some new styles.
