A whole-cone Cascade dry-hop shines with a malty body in our balanced pale ale. The result, a citrusy aroma backed with malt that pairs beautifully with subtle flavors, especially with citrus dressings and seafood.

Hazy, bright amber appearance; mid size off head with a fair amount of lacing. Flowery hop aroma; some citrus notes. Nice hoppy, bitter, resinous taste balanced by the sweetness of the caramel malts. Lively carbonation with a light bodied mouthfeel.

This piney aromatic ale was one of the first local (AVL) brews that I tried, and became one of our go to's for parties and general evening relaxation dinner ales. A nice touch of apricot type fruity note to accent the piney aroma, and some generous malt tones made this a great regular. Too bad the idiot daughter of Oscar Wong is wrecking his well-respected brand, by completely ditching this from their lineup, in favor of following the trendy bullshit haze craze crap.

Poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a golden copper to amber color with a small cap of a little off white foamy head. Slightly dissipated to leave some mild lace.
The aroma had some bitter citrus rind, grassy hops, light citrus zest, some bready malts and a light honey/orange blossom character underneath.
The flavor mildly leaned towards the sweet side through a blend of the citrus, honey and orange blossom. Long sticky sweet honey and orange blossom aftertaste, malty too.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability. Carbonation felt good as an APA. ABV felt good. Finish was semi-zesty with some harshness and a touch of orange blossom smoothness.
Overall, pretty nice as an APA, I'd give it another try if offered.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 7/27/2017. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Classic Cascade hop profile on a nice bready malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Poured into a Pilsner glass. Pretty much a clear golden color with a fine white head that gives really good retention and side glass lace. Good looking beer.
AROMA: Nothing too strong,moderate tones of floral pine hops and bread malts
TASTE: Clean, crisp, not complex. Decent clean, crisp refreshing taste.A little tart at the finish. Enjoyable.

Pours a clear golden color with 1/2 inch of head that dissipates. Pleasant smell; slight fruitiness. Taste is crisp with a clean finish. Not at all bad; quite refreshing but not overwhelming. Nice all around ale.
