COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A testament to Cascade hops in a bottle. This medium-bodied pale ale has a distinctive floral hop aroma and refreshing citrus flavor. You’ll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

This one was very average. Kinda of a surprise from this brewery known for it’s top notch brews. Bland and non-nondescript.

Pours a light orange color. Not too much of a nose, and it is mostly malt. Taste is also of some malt and hops. Disappointing - had All Day IPA yesterday and it was much better. This is just ok. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Aurelius (3443) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAY 13, 2013
Subdued, dry malt aroma. OK label, squat, west coast longneck; murky gold, lacing head. Biscuity sweetness with a little lemon zing. Simple, refreshing, not presumptuous. Quick, sweetish finish with a good bitter balance. A good hot weather brew. Thanks to PorterPounder for the trade.

Bottle. Pretty standard. Cloudy orange pour. Nothing crazy, nice subtle hoppy notes. Smooth.

travita (3035) - Frisco, Texas, USA - MAY 11, 2013
Bottle. The look is mostly clear with just a touch of haze. The color is a bright shiny penny. The head is decent and off white in color. The smell is fresh, hops, caramel, pine, floral, orange, and malt. The taste is more fruity, citrus blend, firm but not aggressive bitterness.

radarsock (476) - Massachusetts, USA - MAY 10, 2013
$1.99 for the 355 mL bottle at Top Shelf Brews. Pours a deep dark amber: trim off-white ring barely a fingernail in length. Aromas of seaweed, Centennial hops, and ginger paste. Tastes the same, with the addition of candied orange, limeade, and pencil shavings by swallow. Vague American yeast character by mid-palate. Was expecting more.

jmcgavin12 (162) - Madison, USA - MAY 5, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 7, 2013 Hazy gold with a bit of white head. Overall nothing too special. Malty notes on the nose and bit of hops on the finish but nothing too special at all

Bottle. Underwhelming, especially drinking it next to the All Day IPA, which I surprisingly liked better.
