12oz can poured into an Imperial pint.

A - A shade darker than golden with great clarity. Head is smaller and white and fizzles to a tiny cap of foam. No lacing.

S - Citrus hops are easy to spot. Some nice aromatic biscuit malts play nicely.

T - Has a solid graininess to the entire taste, great backbone. Hops have a nice citrus (pineapple, melon) flavor to them, pretty bold and focused. Bitterness is pretty moderate and gentle. Refreshing/crisp finish with some lasting hop flavor.

M - Medium to medium-light body, medium carbonation, dry.

O - I picked up a 12 pack of cans and this is the lone survivor. The cascade hops bring a cool twist to the flavor. Great stance with malts as well. This is the perfect on-the-go pale ale, I like to get this beer for when I sneak some beer on the golf course to avoid overpriced macrobeer.

P.s. Appearance does not matter when drinking straight from the can

Pours a nice, soft, white head that collapses into an open-celled inch high cushion. Leaves a touch of lacing behind. Bright, citrus hop aroma. Radiant, clear, gold color turns to a nice hazy turbidity as the hop bits are swirled from the bottom of the bottle. Starts bitter with a grapefruit/citrus rind note to it. The malt pops through for just a bit, but then the bitterness comes back to linger in the finish atop the biscuity malt.

A very watery mouthfeel. Overall, the flavor isn't bad (I actually enjoy the flavor), but the mouthfeel is less than satisfying. It's really, really thin...to the point that it pretty severely lowers my liking of this one (one of the RARE times mouthfeel has shifted my dramatically).

Overall this is an enjoyable pale ale. Easy to drink and very mild over all. Very distinct piney hop presence. It's a good beer to enjoy on a hot summer day. Although it may be quite average, it gets the job done when you are craving the pale ale taste for an incredibly affordable price.

This pours a hazy, golden yellow color with a foamy, off white head. There is a pretty simple aroma of hops and citrus, nothing too fancy. The taste is a fairly simple ale that finishes with a little bitter. There are hints of grains, citrus, and lemon zest as well. It drinks easy, it’s local, but it’s nothing all that special unfortunately.
