Commercial Description:
Aromatic cascade hops finish the bold full-bodied strong beer. If you are familiar with Pale Ales, you’ll enjoy this one.

12oz bottle-pours a thin white head and dark gold color. Aroma is caramel, caramel, caramel, musty, faint hops. Taste is caramel, caramel, caramel/nutty/musty-medium malt, some continental hops. Easy drinking, but not a PA, closer to a faux Oktoberfest, some corn.

An excellent American example of a pale ale. It has a delightful glowing dark-blonde to light-amber color. It’s slightly "bock-y" in it’s wet quenching gulpability yet has a crispy dry finish.

This has undergone some name changes, and in particular they moved to a label in the bottled version (and now at the restaurant) that reflects its nature as a pale ale. Yet, I would push them one further: at least from the bottle I had, I would call this more of an English pale ale, or at least an East Coast pale ale, than an American (West Coast) pale ale. It was lighter in color than their Vienna-style lager, with a touch of citrus (lemon) to the nose and a rounded caramel body that doesn’t overwhelm the hops by any stretch. Moderate sweetness, good density. A pretty good effort, if you like these kinds of session pale ales.

Almost aromaless except for the tickle of carbonation on my nose. Copper colored. Tiny fast fading head. Nice hop and citrus flavor. Nice mouthfeel. I have to say this stuff tastes almost exactly like Sierra Nevada and that isn’t bad at all. Was by far the best of the beers I had there.

Golden ale, webby head. Nice cascade ale aroma. Not super hoppy. Nothing too remarkable, but a solid brewpub IPA. Moderately sweet, good toffee overtones, lightly tart. Session weight, quick finish. Works with the smoky food.
