Shared with Strykzone via Facebook chat. Poured a cloudy copper color. Big white head Lots of lacing. Nose of caramel malts and citrus and pine nose. Medium body and smooth clean mouithfeel. Flavor is a good balance of malts and hops with good bitterness that carries over into the finish. Very easy drinking. Great for the style.

12 oz. bottle from Hayduke. We enjoyed it together during a facebook chat session. I smelled citrus and caramel during the pour. A bit of cinnamon was noted later. The beer is lightly hazy and coppery and well carbonated. A nice fluffy off white head has good retention. The flavor is a nice balance of sweet caramel malt with citrus and pine hops. Grapefruit bitterness comes through but is not over done. Just a hint of spice and must with a dash of pineapple juice. This is a tasty and classic American Pale Ale.

UPDATED: NOV 7, 2011 At tasting room. Aroma and flavor from cascade stand out. This beer burps very well with the flavor of cascade. Also found it is bottled under the alias of Yosemite pale ale.

Not big on this on. Had a rather bland aroma of malt and little else. The flavor was quite bland, some malt and a macro style hop finish. You can keep this one,
