4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Wow! What a great bold fresh hop beer!! Yum-o!! Had it on draft at the Bodega downtown La Crosse. I think they have another keg. Can’t wait. The color was medium and head same. I just thought the hop character that was so well complimented by the rest of the characteristics of this beer made it GREAT!

(Tap) Pours a hazy golden color, with a small head. Nice hoppy aroma and taste, yet very balanced as well. Great aroma compared to other beers that I sampled. Pretty average palate. A great example of a excellent pale ale!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep orange, slightly unfiltered cloudiness. Nice, sweet, grassy floral hop bouquet. Flavor is sweet honey, caramel, maple syrup and a tad of hop bitterness. Some cask qualities. Citric astringency. A little thinning on the palate and in the finish.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Gravity fed rom the firkin behind the bar. The body is dark orange with a white head. The aroma is pine and soap. The taste is grapefruit with some oak and a little burnt bread crust. This is a little one dimensional.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A moderate amber head that laced a bit. Residual fizz kept the head intact. Full pine aroma and up front grapefruit. Amber-orange, a bit hazy. Falls off to other citrus, some biscuit and lemon. Has some body and a long finish. More aromatic malt would have helped. Fine, but unbalanced - even for an APA.

On cask. Very still and amber. Rleatively clear. Strong Cascade aroma. Great hop flavor. A bit thin but very tasty. I assume the name reflects 7 hop varieties starting with C (Casade, Centennial, Chinook, Cluster, Columbus, Crystal and maybe Czech Saaz?)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask. Lightly hazed dark golden liquid. Only a few bubbles, adrift on top. Thin malt and mild hops aromas. Fairly thin feel, but slides quickly across the palate. This one seems to grow on a person as it is imbibed. The malt has a long and lasting part, but not a major part. A very balance session type brew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask. Slightly murky amber color with no head. Hints of apples in the aroma. Very nice apple and wood taste with a large helping of fresh grains. Smooth, very smooth. Damn tasty.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask. Reddish color with no head. Aroma of musty pine. Flavor is initially sweet. I tasted perfume and a hint of grape. I liked this one.
