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.

169th rate of this brew. My 104th APA rate! Consumed in the beer garden at the Seattle Green Festival at the Convention Center with my girlfriend. Not much going on in the aroma, some malty sweetness, caramel, earthy floral hops are light but there. Perhaps in the mold of an organic SNPA. Amber pour, thin head. Lightly toasty and sweet followed by light floral bitterness in the finish. Easy drinking, sessionable, but not much else going on.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3977) - 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.

Pours clear orange with a medium, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is pine and floral hops with peach and pear esters and cookie malt. Flavor is medium hops and bitterness, light malt and clean with a dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

Itzjerm (578) - Taft, Tennessee, USA - OCT 24, 2012
Nice hoppy aroma, not as strong as desired but sweet mild and pleasant. Average lasting head on beer. Taste is hoppy enjoyable a bit watery in mouth feel. Nothing special, but certainly not bad a decent beer.

Bottle from Darby’s, Vancouver
Hazy amber color. Mild aroma of hops, malt, fruits and cereals. Some malt and cereals flavor; ordinary bitterness; dry finish. Simple Pale Ale, not very aromatic; it may be not fresh anymore.
