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.

Moderate malt and light hop aroma. Clearish orange color with some white foam. Light beginning with a bitter hop finish. Lightly chewy palate.

Not a very good pale, wheres the hops? Too watered down, the copper ale I had before this blew it out of the water. I could be alot worse, but not enough is happening here. I cant even say much about citrus or whatever, there just isnt enough of it.

Had this one bottled in a mix pack from World Market in St. Charles, Illinois, thanks Mom and Dad! Very nice, clear deep amber pour with a think, white head, very nice, citrusy hoppy nose. Plenty of bitterness but complicated by citrusy sweetness. Smooth finish. This beer is exactly why I love the APA -- hoppy yet complex.

From bottle. Light biscuit and mild sweet toasted malt. Muted but fragrant floral hops. Nice aroma. Golden dark amber clear with thin off-white lacing head. Medium bodied with mild to medium carbonation. Starts with a muted grain-toasted malt sweetness, light biscuit and neutral fruitiness. Fairly strong bitter finish, medium astringency, with dry nutty quality. Nice ale, with hoppy sweet after.

Love the beer these guys put out. Pours a nice clear copper colour with a full white head. Aroma is fruit- grapefruit, lime and pineapple. Taste is nicely hopped with a smooth finish.
