Bottle courtesy poonpillager. Pours a clear pale copper with a one finger off-white head that fades to a ring leaving some lacing. Aroma of citrus and floral hops with sweet malt and light caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

I really liked this beer. Good hop aroma, good hop taste, not to malty, bitter. Cascades really come through. I would love to drink this again.

Draft at Ray’s Cafe in Seattle. Pours amber orange with an off white head. Nice cascade hop and malty aroma. Nicely balanced between caramel maltiness and moderate juicy hops. Nice clean and bitter finish. I wish I took notes, because I would love to analyze this one a little more. Not aggressive, but in a good way. Sometimes you need a pale ale that is not going to sandblast your palate, and this fits the bill.

Bready and bisquity with lots of honey sweetness and a citric hop taste in the finish. Fruity aftertaste... lots of flavor for a pale ale.

I was really surprised by this pale ale. it has both great flavor and a nice, soft bitterness - some citrus fruit tones. Great beer overall.

Courtesy of ditmier. Pours clear deep copper with light tan head. The aroma has a touch of pine hops to go along with crystal malts, some mild amounts of nuttiness and floral hops. The taste begins floral, pine and biscuit. It gets a tad roasty by midway with a dash of graininess. Into the finish a note of nuttiness blends into the remaining lingering flavors to create a tasty and balanced finish. Nice malt forward pale ale.

Pours a orange/gold with a slight fog. Litle to no head appears on a straight pour. Minimal lacing, but I’m not worried yet. The smell is all tart fruity hops with a little hint of yeast. The taste is lighter than I expected, but I’m a hop addict so I am slightly biased. It finishes refreshing and extremely drinkable. could be the easiest session pale ale I have ever had. Not strong on the hops, but delightfully balanced.

Not perfect but very smooth all around (and perfect for a hot day). Can definitely taste the hops, but not as hoppy as some pale ales from the NW.
