Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small white head that quickly diminishes to nothing, leaving tiny bits of lace. Aroma is fairly boring and mild, mostly just sweet. Flavor is also quite boring, slightly sweet, with a tiny bit of floral hops showing up for the end. Body is quite light.

There is nothing fancy about this beer, but it is a decent beer to drink.The appearance was a medium sized ivory creamy and rocky head that consisted of fine-small sized bubbles.The body was slightly hazy and it had a lot of fizzy and lively carbonation.The hue was orange and this beer left a good lacing on the sides of my glass.The nose was malty, hoppy, fruity and citrus.The flavor was lightly hoppy, tart and it had a bit of an aftertaste.The mouthfeel was smooth, thin and light bodied.

This brew poured a small head os fine to medium sized off-white mostly diminishing bubbles that left a fair lacing and a carbonated transparent amber colored body behind. Its aroma is a nice malt hop mix and its mouthfeel is tingly with a dry sweet finish. The flavor is mild and overshadowed by the tingly mouthfeel. Underneath it there is a mild bitter malt hop flavor trying to come out and play ball.

Bottled. Creamy white head, amber colored body, musty smell and somewhat bland taste. Not a lot of hops for a pale ale, but it was a good tasting beer.

UnionMade (621) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 7, 2003
Pale gold, with a frothy white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy, with little malt presence. Beer is very light, with a slightly dry finish. Golden ales are wierd, because they seem to have some lager qualities. Slight nutyy yeastiness, mild american hops. Kind of dull.

JoeM500 (1900) - Crown Point, Indiana, USA - JUN 18, 2003
Perfumy with grasses and some slight caramel notes in the nose. Very light and watery. Cascade? Are you sure? Grassy bit of hops at the end isn't very exciting. Boring ale, but not offensive.

austinpowers (2827) - New York, New York, USA - MAY 7, 2003
Nice floral smell wafts from the glass. Quite a low alcohol content. Definite citrus taste and very little hops. APA, my ass. This is a blonde ale, I would guess. A touch metallic.

apoptosis (1317) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAR 5, 2003
Smells a little like dry wine, but also very wheaty/malty. Very little hops considering this is an American Pale ale. The roasted flavor is thin-bodied and bland. The alcohol content is too low to make it worth drinking.
