20oz pint at Arcadia. Made with Cascade hops, or Cascadian in origin, I don't fucking know.

This beer appears a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny hipster jeans finger of wispy and mildly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some barely dissolving limestone wall lace around the glass as things slowly abate.

It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and bready pale malt, an indistinct tropical fruitiness, and some plain leafy, earthy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, further exotic fruity notes, a minor hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and grassy verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly active in its swirling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and sort of smooth, as the indeterminate (at the current juncture) hops make a small dent in the proceedings here. It finishes trending dry, the bottomed out malt and still prominent hops landing as such.

Overall - this is an agreeable and quaffable enough NW style pale ale, the Cascade quality (in whatever form) doing well to inform this brew. Good and hoppy, and hoppily good, is all that I've got to proffer at this point in the game. Just kidding - this is some pretty heady and enjoyable stuff, IMHO.
