Commercial Description:
An American style pale ale, this brew is hopped four times using plentiful quantities of Cascade and Columbus hops. The flavor is balanced by a subtle maltiness obtained from five varieties of malted barley and a slight fruitiness, to produce a classic beer in the style of the Pacific Northwest. A clean crisp ale with distinctive hop aroma.

via Bockyhorsey via Fantasy Baseball Golden coloer with a frothy head. Sweet at first then followed by a bitter rush. Tasty Pale Ale.

Thanks to bhensonb for this bottle. A golden color with a huge fizzy white head that lasted for quite a white. Nose of light citrus hops and thin malts. Thin mouthfeel. Flavor is kind of musty and the finish is dry. Overall it seemed pretty ordinary but drinkable.

Draft at the brewery. Some citrus and grapeish aromas, hoppy to a small extent. Lost a bit on the flavor. Hops were still there, but not really anything too exciting. Eh... Just ok

Good enough on a warm late summer day. Huge billiowing head and a much more opaque cloudy beer than many other APAs. Piney Cascade hop aroma is evident but not a tremendously beckoning invite for the drink. Thinnish mouthfeel, hops aren’t as biting or crisply finishing as many pale ales I’ve had recently. Not a complex beer but it will do.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear medium gold with minimal white head and spotty lacing. Nose is malt and light citrus. Taste is similar to the aroma. Has a strange resin-like, read: "like" bitter finish. Medium mouth feel. Not horrible.

Slightly cloudy amber light amber pour with thick, foamy white head. Lots of visible carbonation. Strong hops aroma, thick and piney. Definite hops bitterness up front, but the aftertaste is more of a slightly sweet maltiness. A tad thin. A decent brew, not spectacular but tasty. Note - I’m assuming I’ve got the right beer, blue and turquoise with angels and monkeys on the label. Doesn’t say palo verde, just pale ale.
