COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A copper-hued, refreshing pale ale, generously hopped with Crystal, Centennial, and Cascade hops. The ale is naturally carbonated and blends malty sweetness with a floral and citrusy aroma.

Pours a nice dark honey color. Head quickly disappears into a halo of tiny bubbles around the edge of the glass. Nose is biscuity with very little hop presence. Flavor is disappointingly middle of the road as is the body. Reading the label led me to think I was in for a colossal "C" hop bombing. Unfortunately I got an average APA. Nothing special.

Perfectly trusty pale ale with more malt than hops (the old-school way). I like hoppier pales personally though.

Medium copper to light brown in appearance. Good head. Smells slightly of apples and copper. Taste is malty as hell... roasty and deep.

This one poured a very fiery orange color with very light carbonation and a thin but creamy froth white head that laced moderately on the glass. Heavenly aromas of malt, grain, fruit and citrus, with the grain aspect dominating. The taste begins with an excessive malt front followed up by a nice Cascade hop bittering which dries the palate and allows the sweet malt to really work its effect in the aftertaste. Those Cascade hops are just everywhere these days. Nice palate feel, low carbonation, and nice dry ending sweetness. A nice pickup, thanks to beerguy101 for sending it my way.

Tap @ brewery. Amber color. Good citrus in the aroma which balances with the hops. Malty flavor.

Light Amber color, nearly copper, medium head. Nice maltyness, slight sweetness. Refreshing beer, good aftertaste, more malty than bitter

Pleasant, fresh hop nose. Strong hop taste, but a napkiny finish. Certainly think enough, but a little awkward overall.

The brewery is just down the street and I’ve never been in there till recently and their Pale Ale is rather good.

Semi hazy amber. Creamy off white head. Steady carbonation. Piney hop aroma with caramel and light toasted malts. Crisp. Citric yet sweet, bitter yet with burnt caramel notes. Solid lacing. Turns mellower as it sits. Nice overall flavor, kinda ESB-ish if not for the Pac NW hops. A decent pale ale. Not eccentric like their other brews.
