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.

Pours a deep golden amber with a medium but quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma is floral hop with malt and pine hop notes detectable as well. Taste is straight hop with a decent floral hop aftertaste. It’s not very complex, and the hop flavor is not nearly as strong as the flavor suggests. Solid, but nothing special.

Pours a dark golden clear color with a tan head, presents a balanced malt and hops brew with little fanfare.

Amber good head and retention. C-hopped but not overwhelmingly citrusy, resiny, and without tons of crystal malt. Mild i nthe English style but with PNW hops.

Poured a nice amber color with a small white head. Aroma was of mild citrusy fruity hops. Flavor was a nice balance of malt and hops with a nice bite at the end.

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.
