A Pale Ale inspired by the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest, hopped with Chinook and only Chinook hops. It features a blend of two hand selected lots sourced from Virgil Gamache Farms in Yakima Valley and Coleman Alluvial Hop Farm just south of Salem, Oregon. Crafted to be as oily and resinous as possible, but still maintain a refreshing balance. This liquid has got us all up in our Cascade Mountain range feels, and we are hooked.

Can poured into an Alvarado Street Brewery Willi Beecher glass
A: Pours golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.
S: Citrus peel, resinous spicy pine, and some grassy herbal notes, with a base of biscuity bready malt.
T: Spicy pine, citrus peel, grapefruit and a hint of lemon, herbal faintly earthy notes, and biscuity bready malt with a dry finish.
M: On the lighter side of medium body, slightly lively moderate carbonation, crisp.
O: Not a hop that you often see given a stage to itself. I don't think anyone would call this one complex, but it doesn't need to be. Just a clean crisp winter pale ale that kinda makes you feel like you're standing in a snow covered forest on a blue bird day, drinking it all in.

Clear bright golden amber with sticky foam in the Duvel nonic. Aromatic with melon and cucumber. Light body with a spritzy mouthfeel. Taste is vegetal with a touch of sweetness to start and resins in the finish. Then more tastes of grapefruit and a moderate bitterness. Fairly dry overall with malt in the background. This is a clean and tasty hoppy brew, easy to drink and full of aromatics. From the 16 oz can purchased at San Diego Wine & Beer Co. Stamped "High on Believing 12.26.2024."
