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.

Draught at Hop Leaf, Chicago
Golden color; creamy head. The aroma is lightly hoppy and fruity. The mouthfeel is not strong, there is some malt sweetness, and some nice aromatic hopping. Pleasant, but simple.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with brewblackhole (thanks!). Poured a lighter and clear orange / amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, and lightly floral. Tastes of caramel, toasted malts, and citrus. Thinner body.

Objectively speaking: A soft and globally dull pale ale
I like: Cheaply priced at 4$ a pint at Delilah’s. Easy to drink, but perhaps not as fun as some.
I dislike: Does not give me the desire to try the brewery’s other offerings. Maltiness is limited to bland breadiness. Flowery, simplistic hops. Is there really cascade in there? It lacks any sharpness or freshness, no citrus felt. Lacking toasty development. Very light-bodied.

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.

This pours a light reddish-amber with a thin head and some light but steady carbonation. The aroma is a caramel malt with some floral and piney hopping. The taste is a good balance betwween the malt and hops. Nice dry, bitter finish. Nothing great, but a decent drink.

Dark golden color with a moderate cream colored head. Resin and light sweet malt aroams. Touch of perfume and grapefruit. Pure cascade flavors start. Quite light and swift across the tongue. Malt comes mid to late quaff. Pinewood and light caramel. Touch of alcohol flavor. A decent pale.

Bottle. Clear dark amber with an average frothy off-white head that diminished slowly. Good hoopy pine aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Well balanced hoppy flavor with a moderate bitter finish. Above average brew.

Bottle from Capone’s. Dark straw pour with smallish head. Aroma is bready caramel malt, Cascadey dry hops, lemongrass, mild black peppery notes. Tastes very dry hoppy, with too much of a hop bill to match the malt bill. Another average beer. Nothing was really offensive here, but nothing really stood out either.
