Tied House Cascade Amber

There is a reason this is their best selling beer, it taste great. This is a well balanced, I’d even go so far as to say slightly refreshing beer. This is an easy drinking beer that would go great with just about any meal and would be great to serve at a party; due to it’s drinkability factor, just about any level of beer drinker, novice to beer-snob, could enjoy this beer. Side note- Avoid the light version of this beer, way too bland and unexciting.

Draught. Pours clear amber with minimal white head. Aroma and flavor are both slightly sweet caramel malt and hint of citrus hops. Sort of generic and boring but not bad.

amber, lasting thin head, slight malt aroma, starts light and slightly sweet, then a bit of hop flavor and bitterness kicks in, fairley lifeless

On tap at the Tied House in San Jose. Cascade Amber is clear and amber without much head. The aroma is very muted and of medicinal hops. In the mouth, it’s light and slightly chalky. The flavor carries the lightest detectable bitterness. There’s really not much flavor at all.

A nice amber ale. Aroma is nice and a little sweet. Appearance is dark orange. Mouthfeel is its best feature as it goes down very smoothly. Flavor lacks punch but is an average beer.
