Aug 1, 2008 Pours light transparant orange with an off white head. Has a nice crisp, light hop aroma. Great balance in the flavor, right amount of hops (some pine notes) and bitterness with a nice sweetness of malt to balance it out. Might not wow you but certainly a solid IPA.

Jul 31, 2008 12 oz bottle from Thriftway - This beer looked awesome in the glass. I couldn’t wait to drink it! It didn’t quite taste as good as it looked, but it was still very entertaining. Kinda like an Angelina Jolie movie.

Jul 31, 2008 V - clear light very orange with a medium fluffy creamy head with solid lacing.
A - strong dose of hops without being citrusy. Touch of vanilla.
T - well loaded with hops fades a bit into astringent and bitter finish. Nice at the start, but lacks a balancing second gear.
P - averageish.

Jul 31, 2008 (12oz bottle at home on July 31, 2008) 2008 Anniversary Ale. Lovely head with spotty lacing atop a golden hop-filled brew. Fruity, lightly hoppy aroma. Slow, steady carbonation. Signature Cascades… easy as cheese to pick this beer out of a lineup as a spawn of SN. Taste… (trying to remember what last year’s Anniversary Ale tasted like)... can’t remember, but this one: hoppy, but not like their other brews. I think they actually tried to decorate this one. Piney notes are noticeable, more prevalent as you drink. A nice touch - if not for the pine, it’d be hard for me to tell one SN from the next. Except for the fact that this one tastes much lighter. But still bueno!

Jul 31, 2008 Nice copper color with a puffy white head that recedes to a small layer on top with nice lacing. Strong grainy hop aroma, slightly harsh. Nice malt backbone with a good hop bite. Grainy but good, definitely not the floral hops of the SN Pale Ale. Great on its own and your hop preference will distinguish whether you reach for this or their Pale Ale first.

Jul 31, 2008 12 oz bottle via Safeway. Pours a clear amber orange with a large beige head. Nose is floral, orange, grapefruit. Taste starts and ends with orangepeal, and in between there is some grapefruit, lime, and some metallic aftertaste. Also a bit of soapiness. Body is light. Carbonation moderate/high.

Jul 30, 2008 Updated: Jul 31, 2008This tastes like a cross between a sweeter and milder IPA and a wet-hop harvest ale. Extremely drinkable, could be a top-notch session beer.
