Commercial Description:
Our certified organic interpretation of a West Coast Pale Ale. This medium-bodied beer has a hoppy bouquet and a distinctive rich taste with a caramel-like sweetness that is balanced with a liberal dose of domestic Centennial and imported East Kent Golding hops. Certified organic, certified good.

Bottle. Poured deep amber with foamy white head. Faint hop aroma. Bland taste, thin body uninteresting finish. Not bad, just boring.

Thin off-white head of fine bubbles. Light roasty and nutty aroma, herbal notes and some strange compost aromas. Nice dark copper brown in color. Mild malty flavor with some tea and a bit of roasty bitterness. Lingering herbal notes and bitterness. Finishes dry and bitter tea. Not my cup of tea.

On draft (Cafe Japan, Santa Rosa, CA): Reddish amber with effervescent carbonation, and a thin head. Aroma of malt with hint of black tea and carmel. Fresh ale. Round malt tone masks moderate hop dryness. No fruit, hint of black tea. Signature of this medium-light bodied amber is that it is classic for style- and organic.

Nice dark orange/amber color with a small beige head. Simple aromas of dry malt and caramel. Quite fizzy in feel. Light caramel start. Some vague bitterness in the middle. Fairly dry and bitter finish and linger. Boring is about as good as it gets.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of over ripe fruits, but also light malt notes. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fresh fruit as well as light notes of over ripe fruits, leading to lightly bitter finish. OK without being fantastic. Thanks to Papsoe for sharing.

Lightly funky, english yeasty aroma, some apples, sits on top some sweet caramel malt. Nice amber in color. Flat pour. Sour caramel funk grabs you. kind of carbonated. Not good, sorry.
