on tap-pours a white head that laces and yellow/gold color. Aroma is light malt, hint of (cascade) northwest hops, fennel/caraway. Taste is thin light malt, hint of (cascade +) northwest hops, fennel/caraway. Semi dry. Mild carbonation.

From draught sample at brewpub. Light hoppy aroma with neutral fruit and mild grassy hops. Pale amber clear with thin lacing head. Medium body with medium-heavy carbonation. Starts fairly dry with mild caramel sweetness and a bit of dusty grain. Good hop bitter that lasts. Pretty fresh and nice hoppy after. Could use a little more sweetness.

On tap at the brewpub on 4/9/07: Pours a transparent orange bronze with a thin, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of slightly sweet pale malt with nice balance of citrusy piny hops. Body starts fairly full and semi-sweet with a decent fresh piny hop balance toward a crisp bittersweet finish. A pretty good APA.

Draft at the brewery. Clear amber colored body with a white foamy head. Oily citrus pine hop nose, slightly buttery, sweaty as well. Watery and pale/bland up front, no malt character really at all, mildly bitter over the middle, all oily hops - but not a lot of them - and no malt really, other than a slight biscuit note that shows up in the finish of all places. Mildly soapy and buttery overall... very plain, very simple, probably the worst thing you can do with cascade hops is give them no legs to stand on... this tastes like homebrew kit beer.
