Commercial Description:
With 10 acres of floor space, the powerhouse presently holds 17 huge generators that use the water brought in by the penstocks to produce nearly 3 million horsepower. We use a tremendous amount of hop-power to produce this exceptional ale. It takes over 8 pounds of Perle and Cascade to make just 5 barrels. Roasted barley and two-row brewers malt give this ale its deep golden color.

A well crafted pale ale. Their IPA needs to learn a lesson from this flavourful beverage. I could have sworn this was their IPA - maybe my taste sampler was disorganized. Unfiltered and cloudy, orange in color, and lots of hops. Some good malt backing kept a sweet presence, and it isn’t overwhelming in any aspect. Maybe the odd aftertaste of their beer is from finishing sugars? Tastes a lot like a home brew.

...another decent of the brews there. Had some flavor, and actually some hints of malt in this one. Hoppy, floral, better than the IPA. Not a bad regular beer.

Draught at the brewpub
Muddy golden color. Nice hoppy aroma, light but interesting. Medium body strength, some malt flavor, good hopping, aromatic, a bit fruity; but there is a too high yeast presence to spoil it a bit.

Draft pint at the brewpub. Pretty pale yellow-orange but fully opaque and "fuzzy" like a weizenbock or something. Light orange-fruity zesty aroma ... the drink is tangily hoppy but without a strong fruity flavor of their excellent IPA. This lacks a substantial backbone that would make it better, but still a decent bitter n’ twisted beer. (#3081, 9/8/2007)
