Tap.. Amber with foam. Smells like pancakes and hops. Dry dusty tumblweed flavour.

Not a bad single malt and single hop ale. Poured a medium straw with a half inch of moderate head. Aroma was similar to pilsner malt, crackers, biscuits and even a slight graininess; there was a light citrus hop in the background. Bitterness was restrained, a bit of a light candy-like sweetish character came through in the malt. It finished a tad sweet, with some diacetyl, and tasted slightly underattenuated. At one time this example might have been considered a fairly standard pale ale. Now it’s purely a showcase of one malt because again, the hops although prevalent do not display a distinct character.

he bartender said this batch used Cascade (not sure of the malt). Blonde colored. Easy grain and pleasant, light perfume hop nose . Hop body is again a bit perfumy along with moderately tannic graininess. Light bodied, yet with a definite vein of flavor. Ok for a blonde ale.

Clear dark golden color/ white head. Nice grainy pale malt, floral hop aromas. medium bodied with average co2. Honey biscuit pale malt flavors with spicy, floral hoppage--tasty

Nose is nice and hoppy. Good dose of cascades - relatively floral and citrus with light pale malt sweetness underneath. Pours gold with a decent head to start that settles to not much over time. Nice floral and citrus flavors, moderately assertive. Light pale malt sweetness, lingering hoppy flavors. Slightly resiny, but easily drinkable.
