bhensonb (4182), Woodland, California, USA Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. Light aromas of pale malt, floral and resin hops. Golden color with a so-so white head. Medium plus body with a creamy carbonation. Flavor is floral hop over light malt. It is really balanced, and very pleasing. Refreshing. Good to drink. troopie (848), USA May 19, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep gold with foamy white head. Lekker floral and piney aroma. Full hop flavour, pine, flowers and a bit of malt. Lingering hop finish leaving you to want more. This is hoppy like an IPA but not so strong. boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA May 17, 2008 Bottle... Poured pale gold with a white head. Aroma of hops and cracker grains. Very crisp and refreshing which is great for a hot day, but very ordinary tasting. Candy-malt and inoffensive hops are primary with other grassy, herbal flavors towards the finish. Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA May 11, 2008 From a tasting out of the bottle at Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a copper-amber body with a normal-looking white top. Some spicy, bitter hoppiness in the nose. Creamy, malty, and average as the day is long. Not too bad. Easy drinking. Good mouthfeel. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA Apr 18, 2008 Pours copper-amber with an average off-white head, good lacing. Aroma is huge with lots of piney hops. Flavor is subdued and balanced for an APA. Looking for a session APA? Give this a try. Relatively low abv at 5.1% good balance for the type and no bad attributes at all. A session APA if there was one. A good transition brew for your Macro lovin’ buddies too. I enjoyed it for sure. Reid (1085), Salem, Oregon, USA Mar 26, 2008 12 oz single, with a new style label. In apprearance a clear golden ale with a small white head. The aroma is very delicate and subdued, mostly lightly toasted malts with barely a twinge of the hop aromas promised on the label. There are certainlly more hops making an appearance in the taste, but they cant overwhelm the thick layered malts, I also get a touch of honey like sweetness. Pretty average mouthfeel. Overall not a great beer, but would suffice in a Central oregon summer day BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 24, 2007 Tap at Cascade Lakes Lodge pours out a clear gold small white head. Nice little light hops on it. Tast even had a nice hop on it. IndianaRed (1553), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 15, 2007 On tap at the Lodge. Clear yellowish light amber. Thin off white head. Spotty lacing. Nice bright hoppy aroma. Balanced malty and citrusy hop flavor. Snapppy hop flavor and not too heavy. Nice.
