An American pale lager hopped & dry-hopped with MN-grown Mighty Axe Cascade and Crystal hops. Intense hop aroma, crisp lager everything else.

Half pint draft at the brewpub in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pour is a clear golden with a well formed white head. The aroma is bright citrus, tangerine, herbal, along with some clean resin. The taste is the herbal, resin, tangerine citra hops plus a very clean malt cracker. The palate is light bodied with active carbonation and a mineral hop resin dry finish. Tasty stuff, very well executed.

Sampled from the tap at the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest. Pours a clear light yellow with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a nice grassy pine combination with a crisp light grain backbone. Flavor is a bit more reserved with grain grass and a hint of light grapefruit.

On tap @ the brewery. Pours a clear, light yellow golden appearance with a tan head. Lemon citrus, toasted grain, light corn in the nose. Medium light body. Herbal and grassy flavor. Fairly floral. Lightly spicy. Ehhh.

Draft at the tap room. Gold color with a large head. Considerable hops in the aroma. Flavor is dry with hops. Clearly recognizable as a lager and hard to classify. It is coming awfully close to a Czech pils with those hops. Good beer.
