Standard California Ale. Nice Cascade finish common to the California/NW style. Goes down easy and available just about anywhere.

Light amber, pleasantly toasty with the perfect balance of hops, very nice flavor. Finishes smooth, lasting aftertaste, you want another.

My personal favorite beer and standby wherever I go. Great session beer. Good floral hops aroma and flavor.

Beutiful amber coulour with slight yeast sediments and a thick, long lasting head. Some grapefruit and pine, and a moderate bitterness makes it an ideal thirst quencher.

Good pale ale that pours to an amber body with a small white head that disappears fast. The aroma is filled with hops and a hint of citrus to it, moderate in body with your typical hops of any pale ale. Much like many ales, good taste, smooth with a bit of a lingering taste of hops, hoppier than your usual ales of this type

This bubbly amber ale poured with a decent off-white head and a floral aroma. This is a well-balanced brew that is full of taste - chewy malts and just the right amount of hops. A very solid, but not exceptional beer.

Great refreshing beer after a hot summer day. Nice amber color, wonderful taste and a very smooth finish. Nice pick for a six pack and a ball game.

The old stand by. Look up the definition of an American pale, it basically describes this beer. Some worse, many better, but good in a pinch. The best thing available at many a macro-bar.
