12oz bottle. Rich copper color with a medium lasting head. A bit of malt is present in the nose but it exists only under the more basic grain scents you get from Bud. A note of alcohol as well. The flavor is better than their average brew in that it actually tastes like something. A bit of fruit and a little malt caramel but rough grain notes get in there as well. Earthy hop profile. Not bad, but I think the yeast they used gave it a funny fruity profile and the grain seems a bit off. Medium body, well carbonated. A good effort.

Tap Very forgetable. Amber body, thin apperance. Aroma was of mild hops and lite caramel. Flavor was of watered down amber ale. Some what thin on the finish. However it was refreshing.

It tastes overall kind of like an american ale. Is it in fact brewed by an american company? Hum. 5.99 a 6 pack, Tastes even better.

Not a bad pour, a clear copper body with a dense, sustained off-white head. Very light aroma, caramelly with a touch of orchard fruit and some mineral water. Overly carbonated and gassy like A-B’s infamous lagers. The flavor is watery malt, mineral water,and some soily bitterness. While drinkable, this is a waste of Cascades... if they’re really there.

draft - Pours clear copper with a one finger head. It has a light malty aroma with a trace of hops. The flavor has some lightly toasted malt and mild hops bitterness. It’s light bodied and has a clean finish. While not too bad, it still doesn’t measure up to what so craft breweries offer, yet they’re charging craft brew prices.

(Bottle). Sweet malty aroma. Reddish copper body, off-white head. Dry, somewhat metallic flavor; discernible malt, but not well balanced. Worse than expected.

Pours from the 12oz. bottle a pretty copper color with a fluffy, one finger off-wjite head. Moderate carbonation. The nose has a light but distinct aroma of hops. First sip is light and crisp, with a modest hops kick followed by a balanced finish. There’s a slight hoppy aftertaste. Mouthfeel is light and crisp. Overall, this seems like a hybrid beer, a cross between your average macro lager and a mediocre pale ale. It’s a good ’’starter’’ beer to bring an average Bud drinker over to something more flavorful, but it’s a little to watered down to satisfy a real beer geek. Sierra Nevada is my benchmark for pale ales, this is more like Sierra Nevada Lite!

What’s the difference? It’s a damn rip off. It sounds promising but fails all expectations... like Obama.
