A Pale Ale inspired by the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest hopped with Chinook, and only Chinook, hops. It features a blend of two hand selected lots sourced from Virgil Gamache Farms in the Yakima Valley and Coleman Alluvial Hop Farm just south of Salem, Oregon. We love the classic combination of grapefruit and spruce, but we are really floored by the layers of pineapple, lemongrass, key lime and apricot that are following right behind. Crafted to be as oily and resinous as possible, but still maintain a refreshing balance. This liquid has got us all up in our Cascade Mountain range feels, and we are hooked.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma of pale stone fruits, citrus and malt. Med body. Flavor is a bit earthy, but otherwise fits the aroma. It’s well towards dry and nicely bitter. Really nice. Malt’s not all that toasty, so I could see this as IPA.
