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.

Medium orange color with a frothy slightly yellowish white head. The aroma is burnt apples with some underlying soap. The taste has a strong note of grapefruit with a hint of pine.There is also a little bit of bitter iced tea. An ok APA, but certainly nothing I will seek out again.

Bottle - Pours golden/amber with a short offwhite head. Aroma is citrus and pine and a touch of caramel. Flavor is grapefruity, with a touch of sweet caramel and a bitter finish. On the palate it is fairly light but didn’t seem very well balanced. The hops seemed to take over. This was drinkable but average at best.

A Low to medium grade pale ale. Slightly less complex than the copper ale but more drinkable. Hoppy start with a bitter mid-taste. The after taste really did not impress me. I like pale ales so i was happy to drink this. I would drink it again if it was in a friends fridge, but I do not think i would buy another case of this.

A decent ale, but nothing that great. Very evident hops. Harsh aftertaste.

Pours hazy golden color. Smells floral and hoppy, rather strongly for an APA. Tastes bitter with a citrus touch, medium body, bitter finish. Not exploding with flavor, but a good mild beer.

Nice deep gold color with good head. Hoppy citrus aroma. Flavors of grapefruit with llittle malt. Somewhat watery in the middle. A little unbalanced for my taste. Very bitter finish.

Dark straw colored with aroma of hopcit and some spice. Medium to light palate with a flavor of hopcit, malt, and some fruit. Decent, but not great.

Boy oh boy...not a lot going on here. A nice, soft bready aroma to start. Appearance is perhaps amber, but mostly pale. The taste, though...just not outstanding...a basic, not particularly remarkable, pale ale.
