Some say the origin of this ale is shrouded in a dark mystery. Others say its origin can be traced back to the Cascadia region, where it was named. We say stop reading already and enjoy this hoppy brew with its tanned marshmallow-like foam top, while the aroma of fresh-cut Douglas fir and delicate scent of toffee dance below the surface. After all, some mysteries are best left unknown, while others are left to be drunk.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a dark mahogany with a tiny tan head. Aroma brings out loads of piney hops and roasted malt. Flavour is well-balanced, with loads of piney hops and just enough roasted malt. Quite harsh in a nicely robust way. Really well-balanced, very hoppy CDA.

Medium brown, grapefruit, herbs, light chocolate, nice nose. Sweet minty chocolate, lighter bitterness than many examples...this is refined, smooth...more Pfriem goodness.
