A testament to Cascade hops in a bottle, this medium-bodied pale ale has a refreshing citrus flavor and a distinctive floral hop aroma due to the aggressive addition of hops during fermentation. You'll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

$1.90 bottle from Wine Warehouse. Pours slightly hazy orange-amber with a small off-white head. Syrupy aroma of orange, hay, caramel. Flavor is kinda bland... mild hops without much flavor. A bit of citrus and grass, but all you’re tasting is an ordinary hopped brew.

Bottle from Ales by Mail. Dark gold to.light copper, very little head. Spruce, caramel and grapefruit in the aroma. Taste is more complex and pleasurable: a fruity bittersweet note with underlying sweet malt tunes slightly bitter before the finish. Floral hop on the aftertaste. A classic pale ale.

Bottle into a tulip. Bottled 7/10/15 so way past peak freshness but heavily discounted as such. A: Medium orange color with a tight finger of beige foam. Good retention and sheets of lace. S: Fragrant pithy scent with a little pine. T: Bitter pine taste. A little citrus on the finish but that’s all. Hardly any malt detected. M: Medium heft with good crispness and carbonation. Slightly chewy finish. O: Old bottle sure, but I don’t find much to recommend above many other available pale ales. OK but I wouldn’t seek it.

350 cl bottle, best by a month from now. Pours a clear amber with a short-lived white head. Smells of honey, toast and a bit of resinous and citrus hops. Very well balanced taste, sweet and a bit bitter, with notes of honey, citrus and pine. Smooth and oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy Amber color topped by a moderate rocky white head and clinging lace. Sweet malt marries floral and citrus hops in the nose. Wonderfully simple and flavorful. Sweet malt and citrus hops are perfectly balanced to produce the quintessential American Pale Ale. Nicely done.
