Commercial Description:
Celebration was originally brewed for our Pub brewer’s daughter, Gabrielle, in honor of her first birthday in 2002. It is also brewed for American beer month, (July). The luscious red hue is obtained by using pure crystal malt. Plentiful Cascade and Centennial hops are then used to balance the rich malt sweetness.

Had this on cask at the brewpub. It was very nice and smooth but had a smooth hoppy red style flavor.

Cask @ the brewpub. Reddish golden coloured with a small head. Quite refreshing with malty and fruity notes.

Sampled at GI Clybourn location. Deep clear red with an off-white head. Fresh Cascade hop aroma with some toffee as well. Flavor has notes of toasted malt, pine and grapefruit/citrus. Moderately sweet, ends with a spicy hop finish. Very well-balanced. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and moderate carbonation. A very good session ale.
