Commercial Description:
A classic Northwest pale ale and McMenamins top selling beer. This rich chestnut colored gem is a model of harmony between hops and malted barley. Hammerhead's signature Cascade hop nose and intense hopped flavor blend nicely with the caramel tones from the crystal malt. This beer has a vocal following. To run out is an unforgivable sin. Malts: Pale Malt; Crystal Malt Hops: Cascades Specifications: Original Gravity: 1.056; Terminal Gravity: 1.010; Alcohol by Weight: 4.7% Calories/pint: 241

This reddish copper ale poured with a decent beige head. There is a malty flavor with a chalky finish.

Tap @ Rams Head... Poured cloudy orange with a thick, off-white head. Aroma is well in hops and bread-like. A little bit fizzy on the palate and bitter, metallic flavors with fruity esters, hops, and barley-malt. Finish tended to be sweet which was good for balancing.

On tap@McMenamins Grand Lodge. Dark reddish brown body with a thin off-white head. Slightly roasted malt and fruity aroma. Fruity, refreshing and sweet malty flavor. Balanced bitter on the lighter side, but extremely easy drinkable and definitively decent.

Draft at Roseburg Station; Nose of light floral hopiness and caramel maltiness; Hazy orange with a small, glass-lacing off-white head; flavor is caramel and bitterness.

darker than a normal pale ale, its a light brown instead of yellow pour with good baker nose and grassy taste. crisp palate.

Draught @ Oly Club WA 08’. Copper pour with tight head. Fruit and light biscuit. Fresh cut grassy hop taste. Finish is the let down. Over carb like a lot of the Mc. beers I tried.
