Greetings from Cleveland! Where an infamous river fire rekindled appreciation for our region’s natural resources (like the malt and hops illuminating this Pale Ale).

Bottle. Bright orange-copper color with lace. Big citrusy cascade aroma: fresh and clean with strong grapefruit. Solid malt flavor with good cascade arooma hops and bitterness. Clean and crisp with a very bitter finish. Floral character kinds rather quickly, becoming a tad watery. Great balance, though. Should be a good session despite the strength. Not particlarly above the pack.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy gold with a redish tinge. Aroma had a nice bitter note with some malts underneath. Flavor is bitter but not overwhelming, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

12oz bottle. Thick orange-tan color. Fresh orange and sweet sea water aromas. Solid but subdued cascades balance out thick malty base. Sweet, almost a tad syrupy in some ways. Nice orange-citrus flavors going on, not aggressively bitter but solid in it’s hoppiness. Pretty good.

Bottle from Archer Liquors. Ambery color with a light white head that did a bit of ring lacing. Aromas of citrus and mildly roasted malt. Near medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is citrus/floral over roasted caramel. Finish is pretty well balanced with a decent amount of bitter. Reasonably dry in the finish.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of dankman. Thanks! Pours a clear copper color with a medium-large head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is strong citrus hops with some bready malts. Taste is hops... citrus, leafy and minty, with toasted malts. Medium bodied, well balanced.

bottle - Pours copper with a one finger head and an aroma of caramel malt and citrus hops. The moderately bitter flavor has good grapefruit notes and a nice malt balance. IPA, huh? I thought it was an American Pale. It’s good either way, but the flavor profile had me thinking really good APA.

A golden ale with a thick off white head. A nice caramel aroma with British hops. In mouth, a clean crisp ale with caramel malt, grainy, lightly peppery with nice green hops. Light quaffer. Sampled at Flour City brewfest, Rochester, NY, August 15 2008.

Light amber color. The aroma is a bit eggy, but it has a nice malt and caramel flavor, crispy, with a good hopping. Very good.

This pale ale poured a medium orange colour with a quickly dissipating head. To the nose there was scents oflemon and orange citrus, hopps and bread dough. Tasted like it smelt with the strong hops but they were not overpowering. Citrus became evident in the finish with the palate being a little bitter. Very nice work!

Clear amber color, short head. Aroma of cascade hop, some hint of pine, caramel malt. Nice bitter taste, bit malty. Quite straightforward, but decent IPA.
