My favorite beer I’ve ever had. I’ve tried many, and I still find myself sticking to this one. Doesn’t get any better.

Truly what I hope for in a northwest style pale ale. Strong cascade hope nose(by pale atandards) Balanced mouthfeel and flavor, according to NW version of the style. I think I'll have another.

Ahh, a beautiful specimen indeed. Flavors are integrated harmoniously to create this perfectly ballanced Pale Ale. It’s smooth with a mild finish. This should be the first stop on the migratory trail from the barren flavor fields of mass produced lagers to the fertile forests of American craft brews. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recomended.

I drink Mirror Pond every night. It’s the cleanest, freshest tasting beer I’ve ever had. It never gives me a hangover. Perfect flavor, so you can drink them all night long. Clean drinking, good times....

Excellent tasting beer with some hoppiness but not too much if you don't like too much. Very crisp with a great balance of hops.
