COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rich, amber hue and full-bodied flavor begin with roasted, domestic caramel malt. It’s sweetness is then tempered with genuine Cascade hops, which are added again at the end of the boil for a distinctive, citric-floral aroma.

Canned version brewed/canned by <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/ShowBrewer.asp?BrewerID=721>Pacific Western Brewing.

Not bad at all. I had a glass of this at Mac’s bar, which has no relation to this beer.

Hophazard (193) - San Francisco, California, USA - FEB 28, 2011
Hint of grapefuit, but subdued. Deep golden color with thick, off-white head. Grassy bitterness to start, almost hay like. Tasts like a copious amount of dry hops. Malt rounds and slightly softens the taste. Medium body with malty finish. Tastes more like a well hopped pale.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Craig. Pours a mostly clear amber color with a large white head. A sweet biscuit and floral hop aroma. A fruity flavor with some caramel and biscuit, lots of pine. Interesting, pretty hoppy.
