Sep 1, 2007 Poured a translucent red amber with a creamy, lacing white head. Aroma is great, sweet and malty, but also hoppy with pine and lemon. Flavor was heavy on the citrus and very bitter, but caramel and candy on the end really smoothes things out. Finish is bitter but very drinkable.

Clean copper colour. Beige head. Light fruity aroma with a little citrus. Clean flavour, some hop background. Some what of a watery palate.

Aug 26, 2007 Reddish with off-white, thick head. Caramel malt is present in the aroma and heavy in the taste. Cascade hops are prevalent but dissipate before the finish leaving each drink feeling like something is missing. Quite drinkable, though.

Aug 24, 2007 A good easy drinking ale that is fruity as all heck. There is a good dose of crystal malt that adds a nice cookie texture to the beer. The cascades are well represented, but not out of balance.

Aug 24, 2007 a red pale ale? does not work. sweetness eliminates the hoppyness. and it ends up just creamy. doesn’t work at all

Aug 24, 2007 Aug. 24, 2007; 12 oz. bottle sampled in a Trappist glass. Never heard of this one -- caught my eye at an Upstate NY supermarket. Reddish-caramel-colored, minimal head/lacing. Aroma & flavor is appropriately hoppy, but the "bottom end" of this is wanting, and the finish is a bit watery. Could be the poorer cousin of SN’s Celebration Ale. An above-average beer nonetheless, and a good find so close to home.
