Our classic Northwest Pale Ale is a rich chestnut-colored gem, and model of harmony between hops and malted barley. Hammerhead's signature Cascade Hop nose and intense hopped flavor blend nicely with the caramel tones from the Crystal Malt. This beer has a vocal following; to run out is an unforgivable sin.

Malts: Premium 2-Row, Caramel Steam 40

Draught at the Six Arms, Seattle Bright foxy, no head. Virtually no nose, one suspects malts. In the taste there’s finally some malts, crisp sweetness and even a short menace at hops, but they shy away from such boldness quickly. The caramalt stays on. Light to medium body. Dull ale. Hammerwhat?

Draught at White Eagle, Portland. Hazy reddish brown. Neutral aroma. Dryish with clean mouthfeel. Sharp resiny hops that linger on into the finish. Uninspired.

Cask: Opaque red brown. Hop alcohol nose. Hops are present in flavor but are nearly undetectable due to alcohol heat. Poor balance

I guess these days this beer wouldn't seem quite as bold as it did when I first had it, but quality is quality nonetheless.
