Commercial Description:
A refreshing, golden amber brew, with Cascade hops from the Yakima Valley. Adding Cascades during conditioning captures the rich aroma of the hop, and completes the clean, well-balanced flavor of our American pale ale. Crisp, refreshing and exotically aromatic.

Very avg. beer. Light copper color with a film for a head. Very little lacing. Mild hop with a hint of floral especially in the finish. The low ABV doesn’t help any. Easy to drink but again,avg.

12 oz bottle: I liked this APA. Amber color. Quite hoppy indeed, liked all the Cascade, although had a smooth sweet malt character as well. Some metallic in the taste and a weak aroma nocked a little off the overall score, but good.

Pours an amber with a decidedly red influence. This is hoppier than I expected from Otter Creek. Doesn’t have the fresh hop aroma of a dryhopped beer, but they used a good bit of hops here. A bit of diacetyl.

Pours yellow gold, white head with large bubbles. Smells amazingly floral, like a real bouquet of wildflowers. The flavor is a tinge of bitter, not much at all. Ok buttery hoppy flavor. This is definitely refreshing after a 90 degree day here in WI. This beer is strange in that it’s leaving me with absolutely no aftertaste save for a touch of piney flavor (gin?). I think I was expecting more with this one; below average to say the least. Drinkable, but there are far better apas out there.

Bottle: Strong on hops, reminds me of a ´little´ IPA. Nice, drinkable brew.

Good standard pale ale. Aroma is sweet citrus, and flavor is about the same. Nice hops.

Pours pale with a medium sized white head. The aroma is light citrus, some bready malts. The flavor is grapefruit and oranges, touch of caramel. Mouthfeel is thin and slightly watery.

A really good ale, drank it at the Country Pantry (I recommend it) in Vermont. Really nice hops which makes it well balanced.
