Hops emerge from the dark in this unique ale. Named after the Cascadia region, it balances dark-roasted malts with a blend of hops known as Falconer’s flight. This style of beer could also be described as a dark India Pale Ale. The term may be a contradiction but the flavor is definitively pacific northwest. Enjoy on its own or aired with braised short ribs.

This is a decent dark IPA with lots of balanced barley and a good finish - but like many of GI’s beers it’s rather simple. Dry hoppiness at the end helps to highlight the barley. Not overkill and a good gateway into the style.

650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with light head. Aromas of roasted malt and light pine. Flavors of coffee, roast malts, light chocolate, and light pine. Nice enough.

650mL bottle, pours a dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of dusty cocoa, some light coffee roast and faint metallic notes - no notice of the hops. Flavour is a little roasted, a little metallic, with some citrus hops, some cocoa powder and sweaty socks. Under-hopped for the style and unrefined in general. Not good.
