Sample at the Barrel House. Clear golden pour with a medium thin and fizzy white head that evaporates steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and sweet malt. Medium body with flavors of hops, citrus and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Surprisingly pedestrian APA from Cascade.

On tap at the Barrel House - Pours clear yellow with a nice foamy white head. Nose is gentle floral hops, sweet and perfumey, with nice clean pale malt. Taste has the same, but a little watery body. Finishes with mineral and bread dough, and light herbal hops. Big and fluffy carbonated body.

Sample tray. Yellow. A hockey game / pitcher beer. Nice hop aftertaste but basically a straight forward craft beer.

On tap listed as Portland Pale Ale. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet honey and grain. The flavor is a light Pale with lots of Pilsner malts, grainy, sweet, easygoing with no obvious flaws, quite clean.

On tap at Cascade Tasting Room with mcberko. Pours a clear pale yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma lightly of orange peel, citrus fruits, cereal, hay - all of which are muted. Flavour of cereal, bread, and light citrus. Not much going on. Light and refreshing.

On tap at Cascade Tasting Room, split with Matts_Property, pours a clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of light, crisp, dry pilsner malt and straw. Flavour of straw, pale malt and cereal. Nothing going on here - why even bother to make a beer this boring?

Draft at special brews. Pours a crystal clear medium gold with tons of fast rising.carb. Big frothy white head. Mild grassy nose. Creamy medium body with very lively carb. Toasty, crackery mid palate with mild grassy finish.
