a - mostly clear beer that is copper in color. minimal head with little lace left on the glass.
s - a hoppy auroma that has some hints of malty sweetness.
t - an average hop bitterness that finishes really clean and smooth. the hop flavor has the piney and floral taste that i tend to expect from cascade hops.
mouthfeel - light and crisp
drinkability - because of the clean crisp flavors and mouthfeel it makes a very drinkable beer. when i bought this beer for the first time i was on a fishing vacation on the alabama coast. this beer turned out to be the perfect pair for my week of killer fishing.

Copper color, small 1/4" white head. Cascade hoppy aroma.
Taste more of the same, solid bitterness especially for an AB product, a little caramel. This was a cool beer in the mid 90s, totally serviceable. A little more bitter than the English genre, but whatever, better for it. Would totally bang again when at a lesser bar or whatnot.

A somewhat dated 12 oz bottle from the back fo the refrigerator, wih the review tempered by memory from fresher bottles.
Look: surprisingly good, with a clear, deep amber body covered by a rather creamy looking, bone-colored head.
Aroma: earthy hops are stronger than the malt base
Flavor: again earthy hops over a sweet and light roast malt base but tainted with some metallic tones (attributed largely to age) and hints of corn.
Feel: Medium body with a very good carbonation level.
O: given a fresh bottle, not bad; even roughly average and, therefore, better than expected.
