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.

Style; glass: Pale ale; 12 fl oz x 4.6% ABV = 55.2 / 60 = .92 beers * 150 C = 138 calories (est.) Purchased at: Canal’s Lawrenceville, NJ for $1.20 Aroma: hay, corn, grains, faint Visuals: templated packaging. Body is bright, brilliant, and pale, staying white head, interesting lace. Taste: starts with corn and barley, grassy, middle is water, a little chemical, finish is slightly metallic. Palate: starts thin, middle rounds a bit in the mouth, quick drying effects towards the short slightly acetic finish. Overall: Not bad for the price, better than your average macro, but I would seek out something else next time, myself. originally posted at: <a href="http://beercritic.wordpress.com/"&

Bottle. Pours a golden copper body with a white head. Lightly hopped with some earthiness, and citrus. A thin malt ballet and a cloying bitterness. eh.

bottle - Drank side by side with Michigan Brewing Co. Mackinac Pale Ale. This beer pours clear copper with a very thin head. It has a sharper hop aroma than the Mackinac. The flavor is moderately hopped with some good citrus notes. The malt is in there but rather light. It strikes me as a little thin and unbalanced. Overall it’s decent but on this head--to-head I’ve got to give the nod to the Mackinac.

Bottle. Clear copper with nice carbonation and good lacing. Nose is metallic with citrus hops underneath. Nice bitterness, assertive but reserved. Clean but one-dimensional. Bland citrus notes. Sharp carbonation but still somewhat easy drinking.

Bottle @ Ellicottville Beer Fest. Nice APA. Nice hop presence, balanced, very drinkable. Not terribly complex but a good APA

Clear apricot pour with minimal head and strong hops presence, this pale tastes like the commercial description, clean and well balanced. Good beer

amber pour, small head. Aroma mostly of hops, with some hints of malt and sweetness as well. Flavor is mostly hops and citrus- Nothing special, but certainly drinkable, a well made beer for a local brewery.
