Left Coast inspired pale ale...solid malt backbone coupled with a Cascade hop citrus snap makes for an enjoyable pint...after pint..after pint.

Copper pour with a creamy white head and lace. Light earthy hop aroma. Sweet caramel maltiness, light spice, and a hint of citrus hops. A tad thin with nice low carbonation.

puzzl (3071) - New York, New York, USA - MAR 23, 2009
Tap at the brewpub. Very bitter flavor, with little citrus or otherwise distinct hop character. A touch sweetish. Kind of farty, dryish, bitter light malts and minerals are noted.

JoeMcPhee (6835) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 18, 2009
Golden colour with a big hoppy aroma. Lots of fresh resiny pine and a soft lemon/orange citrus as well. There is a light kiss of pine as well. It’s pretty well-balanced though. Fairly assertive bitterness on the back. Lots of hoppy flavour but it comes through less on the aroma. I quite like it though.

jmm635 (613) - Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 8, 2009
Light amber color with a thick white head. Aroma of hops and some citrus. Maltier on the tongue than I expected. Goes down easy. Drinkable, but I wouldn’t be upset if I never had it again.

blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - MAR 6, 2009
Draft at the brewpub. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet malt aroma with citric hops, probably Cascade. Flavor has citric/floral hops up front, again I’m guessing Cascade, with a solid amount of caramel malt sweetness as well. Very nice.

fredandboboflo (1570) - East Setauket, New York, USA - FEB 21, 2009
Tap at the brewpub. Aroma of citrus hops, sweet, bready malt, berries, astringency. Flavor not as astringent as the aroma predicted and more of a baked malt flavor than anything else. Rather sweet. Astringency returns a bit at the finish. Not bad.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - FEB 20, 2009
Tap @ the pub. Poured an almost clear gold color with a large white head. Big orange rind aroma with a mix of caramel malt. Orange rind and pith flavor with some pine. Light bodied with a mild-moderate long bitterness.

chimplechamp (579) - Oslo, NORWAY - FEB 16, 2009
Pours golden orange with a white head. big grassy nose like a sauvignon blanc. some lemony citrus hints as well. taste is much the same with a good zingy flavour, light enough to be sessionable but a really good refreshing taste. Mine was gone before I knew it.
