May 21, 2007 Third stop during May ’07 brewpub tour, brought us to the South Shore Brewery in Ashland, WI. Pours a slight hazy orange/yellow brew with a light off-white head that dissolves quickly. Fair/sparce lacing. Aroma is citrus peel, grapefruit, more pine hops, and a hint of sour orange. Taste is lightly carbonated, a little acidic with plenty of piney hops in this medium bodied pale ale. Finish is a little dry with more pine aftertaste.

Mar 16, 2006 Pours a yellow fringed orange clear, with an obvious opalescent hazy sheen. Topped with a sticky white lacing. Extremely distant Cascade aroma of orange rind. Flavor is a stronger, yet reserved sticky Cascade, very sweet and loaded with tangerines and grapefruit. Yet, fairly one-dimensional. Light on the grass or resin. Drinkable, yet watery. A little weak and thin bodied.
