Oct 15, 2007 I don’t know. Maybe it’s my palate. Maybe the beer was past it’s prime or I got a bad bottle, but I didn’t care for this beer one bit. In fact, it reminded me in many ways of a really bad pumpkin beer, eventhough I don’t think there’s any pumpkin in it.
The beer pours out an incredible dark copper/orange/brown hue with a medium sized biege head. To me the aroma was just too vegetative to squeeze anything else out. Flavors were more vegetative nastyness plus there was some off-caramel taste that really clashed with the veggie character of the beer. I will re-rate one day to get to the bottom of this mess.

Oct 13, 2007 On tap, 10/13/07. Deep amber color with slightly off white foam, decent retention and lacing. Aroma is lots of earthy hops and low degree crystal malts. Very bitter without a lot of hop flavor, very nice malt backbone keeps this from being over the top too bitter. Long lasting bitterness in the finish.

Oct 13, 2007 Deep Copper pour with off-white foamy head. Big hops notes in aroma, smells of citrus/grapefruit. More hops in flavor. Grapefruit, mango, and a little spice in the flavor. Building heat. Malt sweetness is fighting to get noticed, but it’s losing the battle due to the strong bitterness. Bitter finish. Not very balanced, but I’m digging it.

Oct 13, 2007 Very citrusy aroma and flavor, somewhat overwhelms the malt flavor from start to finish, a hophead’s delight as a session beer but just too bitter for a lot of them for me.

Oct 13, 2007 12 oz bottle - have had this too many times to count but just realized that I have not yet rated it. Pours a deep copper/red color with smallish light tan head. Aroma has fair amount of slightly citrusy hops, light caramel, faint vanilla, orange peel. Flavor has fair amount of citrusy hops, orange peel, light caramel, faint toast, with a solidly bitter finish. Always a great fall brew.

Oct 12, 2007 12 oz bottle. Clear amber with an orangish head. Aroma is citrusy. Very well balanced flavor, full bodied and bold. Hides its strength very well.

Oct 8, 2007 On tap at GLBC.
Big bold flavor. Very sweet at the first sip. Great Cascade aroma and flavor. Full-bodied taste hides the alcohol well.
