On tap at the bar, the beer was served in an imperial pint style glass. It is a hazy gold with a bone white head. Nice lace patterns.
The beer smells of old hay and faint citrus.
The taste is of spent grains and washed out hops. The cascade hops are virtually mia. The grains are the most prominent taste component. There is also a bit of funk that could be the yeast or a slightly dirty line, either way it is out of place in this beer.
The mouth is crisp but drinkability suffers from the trepid taste.

This pale ale tastes so much like the golden, I had to ask for a sample of the golden to confirm that I hadnt been misserved. I hadnt. The two beers are entirely distinct, but both rely on the same funky-punky yeast strain which quickly turns me away. Change the yeast to something cleaner and more American and perhaps those Yakima Cascade hops might step out of the shadows and shine.
Otherwise, Ill pass on this recipe though no overt brewing problems are noted. Centennial harbors a thin body and garbled taste. The yeasts bring low esters that mask, not cultivate the malts. The rest of this beer can be described as lightly hazed golden with sluggish carbonation.
Not all Coeur dAlene beers are brewed on site at the Steam Plant. This one is. The original Coeur dAlene version apparently won a gold medal at the GABF back in 1987, a notion I find quite puzzling.
