Commercial Description:
This top fermenting amber-colored ale is brewed using generous amounts of malt and kettle hops. The trademark of this ale is its beautiful hop bouquet and taste that comes from a liberal dry hopping of the highest grade Cascade hops during the secondary fermentation. The malt firmness of this ale comes from the perfect mixture of two-row malted barley, carapils, and caramel specialty malts. The ale has an original gravity of 1060 and is fermented at 65 degrees farenheight which imparts the classic ale fruitiness to the brew.

Well, I can say that it was creamy. Had this out of a bottle. Sweet cookie dough flavors. Must say that it was easy to drink. Not as dry as their other offerings, which was nice. Decent.

Clear copper hue, smooth head formation. Biscuit malt aroma, hoppy citrus. Smooth, creamy, cookie dough flavor, plenty of hop citrus, good bitter bite in the finish but well balanced with a toasted malty aftertaste.

Clear orange w/amber highlights thick fine white head, quite beautiful. Nose of apricot, citrus, peach, and orange. Nice prickle, with piney hops, citrus, slight creamy mid w/clean refreshing finish. Overall dry with a slightly bitter hop finish. Wow I really enjoyed this beer

Color of deep cream soda. A nice hoppy aroma balanced with some malt. Great flavor, hops and sweet malt delivered on a bed of bitterness. This is a great example of what a pale ale should be, a balanced beer with first hops then malt, and its not overdone anywhere.

Red orange color. Very nice fluffy white head is mostly diminishing, leaving a thick, puffy ring around the edge of the glass and thin patches of lacing. Syrupy-sweet caramel malts and Cascade hops dominate the aroma (which is rather light). Flavor starts rather sweet, the chewy malts being most prevalent, and then turns moderately bitter as the hops rear their pine-coney little heads. Glassy, lightly metallic finish underneath the waning hop bitterness. A tad thin on the palate, yet not overly so. A solid example of the style. I would drink this again.

Good amber color,small head that faded quickly leaving little behind.Nice malty,fruity aroma with a light hop presence.Nice fruity taste with a mild malt presence and plenty of hops giving it a nice but not over powering flavor of Grapefruit.This is a very nice brew,that has plenty of flavor and more then worth it appeal.Thanks go to Nexxus for sending another fine brew my way.

Clear medium amber with a medium diminishing off white head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, red apple, apricot and bread. Medium slightly velvety body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Nice flavor of biscuits, caramel, pine, grapefruit and bread. It doesn’t blow me away, but the flavor is well balanced. Lots of things to like about this one, but it is a little boring. However, it can be nice to have something that isn't over the top. Very good.
