Commercial Description:
An American style pale ale, brewed with pale and crystal malts and a touch of oats. Copious amounts of Cascade Hops are added late in the boil for a pleasant floral and citrus aroma. A very refreshing ale that may leave you wanting another.

12 oz. bottle. Poured clear deep golden. Big creamy, slightly off-white head that quickly settles to a thin layer of foam with little lacing. Aroma of caramel and grapefruit, hint of pine. Flavor is very smooth pale malt, backed by a touch of caramel. Moderate to high bittterness with a lot of grapefruit. My second favorite offering from this brewery, after the stout - hope to enjoy many more in the future!

Very clear, golden color. A bit bland flavoring, but a strong Hoppy bitter aftertaste, although it doesn’t stay on your tounge too long.

Amber color with very little head. Smells of grapefruit and caramel. Thin body and not much carbonation. A little bitter and tastes of citrus and toffee. Overall it’s a pretty good beer.

12 oz. bottle. Poured light copper with slight lacing. Floral, light citrusy nose. Grapefruit and piney flavor with dry, bitter finish. Thin mouthfeel. Bottle states beer is brewed with Ahtanum and Tomahawk; no mention of the Cascade hops listed on the commercial description here. Sessionable. Worth picking up a sixer if you pass through the Mountain State.

12oz bottle-pours an off white head and slightly hazy gold colr. Aroma is citrus hops, yeast, secondary grain/medium malt-caramel. Taste is earthy/citrus hops, yeast/biscuity, secondary grain/medium malt-caramel/butterscotch. A bit homebrew/small micro character. OK carbonation. Thanks decaturstevo for sharing.
