Pours a pale orange with a moderate but quickly dissipating head. Very weak malting but good hopping - citrus, floral. Lingers nicely into the aftertaste. The body is too light for my taste, and should be more heavily malted. Decent carbonation. Overall, it’s a very drinkable.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with a small off white head. Aroma of citrus and piney hops. Flavor was malty with a good hop bite. Good beer. Easy drinking.

Aroma is pungently hoppy. Flavor is hoppps. Goodness. Definitely some dry...bread-like taste, but mostly, you get a lot of flavor from those beautiful cascades. Reminds me a lot of the Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale, due to the cascade hops. It’s good, that’s all I need to say.

Amber, with a nice white head. Typical pale ale, citrus, hops etc. Fairly mild overall, can see drinking a lot of these.

Poured murky light amber from the bottle with good carbonation and a moderate white head. Citrus aroma and taste with fair hoppiness.
