Beershine (1440), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Oct 19, 2007 Hoppy and can taste the cascade so it’s almost like some IPAs I’ve had. Citrusy aroma and flavor to boot. Yellow-gold color. Served too cold and has little head. Not outstanding in any way but enjoyable, quaffable beer with session potential. Finishes dry. RobHammer (10), Westland, Michigan, USA Jan 23, 2007 Nice amber color, with a nice caramel sweet aroma. Lite off white head with very little carbonization. A little on the sweet end of the Pale spectrum, but nicely ballenced. A nice after dinner beer. Lubiere (3324), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 4, 2005 Hazy amber in colour with a thick froathy off-white head, lacing. Nice aroma of caramle and c-hops, light citrusy notes. In mouth, classic pale ale with nice malt base, and nice mix of bitterness and grapefruit, dryish, and lingering. Light to medium in bodied, but quite quaffable. Bottle is about a year old. CapFlu (3340), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Sep 30, 2004 (Bottle) Pours a very thin, white head and a non-carbonated amber body. Nose is nicely hopped with mild malt playing into the fold. Very hoppy flavour with a mild tinniness. Last cascade hop bitterness in the finish. Good. MartinT (4377), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Aug 31, 2004 The classic grapefruity C-hop fragrance portends an all-hop affair...Oranges surge in the mouth to diversify the linear hoppy path and earth accompanies them not far behind...The C-hops dominate the palate and sometimes reach chemical freshener level if you look deeply...The clean body is perfect for tasty quenching, which I think to be this pale ale’s purpose...
