Tap. Pours hazy amber, small beige head, creamy, nice lacing. Aroma is not strong, herbal, spruce tips, a bit of pot. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter. A bit harsh, odd herbal note. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel.

I sampled both the Cascade & Chinook versions of this (they were two separate beers on draught) at Toronado in San Francisco, California. They were about the same, so here’s the overall rating: Copper coloured body with a perfect sized dense tan head. Aroma of nothing but hops - a good way to tell the difference between Chinook & Cascade is to have these side by side. Medium-bodied; Sharp pungent hoppiness in the mouth, coupled with a good malt backbone and more hoppiness to finish it out. Overall, a great sampling from these wet hopped beers - I really enjoyed the mouthful and the aroma of these. Nothing missing in my mind! I sampled both of these on draught from Toronado in SF on 27-October-2007.

Draft. Somewhat hazy amber beer with a very nice white head. Pine and tar flavors with a slight mustiness. Nice tingling bitterness. Malt backing, but hop flavor dominates. Pine and tar aroma. It gets a bit fruitier as it warms in both flavor and aroma.
