A pretty damn good pale ale. Very drinkable and pretty smooth for an pale ale. Not as much alcohol in this one as there are in other pale ales of this calibre(mostly IPAs though), but his certainly does not detract from the nice clean ’Cascade’ hop taste of this one (I am not sure what a Cascade hop is and why it is any different).

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grainy and yeasty. Flavor is citrus and yeast. Nothing really going on here. Just an average brew.

I like what Otter Creek has done with these special releases, up to this point. This beer is a complete miss, I even thought to give it some time and have had it cellaring it for a month since i bought it. Well, its still came out as a crappy Tripel. First its the clearest yellow tripel I have ever seen, clear body and can see everything from one side to the other. The aroma is at least recognizable as a tripel with that earthy belgian candi aroma. But its rather weak and has nothing past that. Taste is complete empty, absolutely nothing to show for itself. Boo this beer, boooooo.

An unclear brown beer - somewhat murky, with a thin light brown head. The aroma is a weird spicy one combined with notes of cellery. The flavor is sweet malty with a light roasted note. Not good for the style.

Bottle: Pours a light amber / light orange color with a small offwhite head. Aroma is somewhat muted blend of malts and hops, taste is a crisp hops with a bit of citrus and a smooth maltiness. One of the better organic IPA’s that I have sampled to date.
