COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Named for the majestic creatures which embody the proud spirit of the Republic of Cascadia, Wild Salmon Pale Ale is a light bodied and beautifully balanced Northwest-style pale ale. Its gentle sweetness, drawn from Pale, Carastan, Vienna, Cara-pils, and Honey malts is nicely matched by Chinook hops and late additions of Cascade and Willamette hops. Northwest Pale Ale enthusiasts will love this beer as much as they love the beautiful region which has inspired it. In firm commitment to our love of the Great Northwest, the people at Fish Tale Ales are donating a portion of the proceeds from sales of each case and each keg of Wild Salmon Pale Ale to the Save Our Wild Salmon Coalition, helping to rebuild healthy runs of wild Pacific salmon and steelhead. On draught or by the bottle, this treat from Fish Tale Ales is remarkably bright with a brilliant golden color and thick creamy head. Wild Salmon Pale Ale is sparkling and crisp with a fresh hop aroma and refreshing finish.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3989) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 6, 2013

Further proof that just because something is organic does not mean that it is good. +++ Sampled form a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-apricot color with a small soapy tan head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was tangy, sweet sugar and very faint tropical fruits. The flavor was tangy table sugar, a hint of tartness, cardboard and very faint tropical fruits. Short finish of sugar and fruit. Medium body. Disappointing.
