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.

Not a fan of Pale Ales, but this is one of the better examples of the style. Nice floral aroma, with lots of copper and citrus zest. Flavor is similar to an Alpha King-lite. Lots of hops and a wheat backbone. Somewhat weak, but with a metallic finish.

Bottle on 11/28/2008 in the Great Butters Tasting of 2008. Somewhat hazy golden body with particulates floating around and a small creamy. Sweet citrus, and resiny hop aroma with light caramel. Sweet caramel, light citrus anf resiny hops, a bit of honey with a good amount of bitter flowing into the finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

very carbonated...bottle cap almost flew off. huge white foamy head and a light honey color. sweetness of the dry hop is very noticeable in the aroma. some pineyness up front but other than that flavor is more balanced and less citrusy than the aroma suggests and the finish brought out a mild metallic flavor and also a bit of stringency.

12oz bottle via trade with Acknud. Pours a mostly clear golden yellow with an enormous white head, tons of carbonation. Brew had kind of a sour citrus peel aroma. Brew was very lively on the palate.

Thin head of fine white bubbles. Orange and citrusy aroma with some lemon and straw. Very dry and pasty palate. Like taking a mouthful of chalk. Some more orange flavors and loads of bitterness. Herbal bitterness with a bit of peanut skins. Bitter and dry finish. An ok IPA.

120z bottle thanks to TURDFERGESON. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Nose of pine and floral hops with sweet caramel. Taste is same as the nose - pine hops with sweet caramel backbone. Mouthfeel is harsh hoppy bitterness.
