Corner Coast
No-Li Brewhouse

12 oz can from Moscow Co-op. Medium golden, small tight head. Aroma comes in light, grainy and sweet. Taste picks up the grains a notch, coupled with a creamy feel, and some sweet, corny notes. Cream ale and lager come to mind.

 

This is one dirty beer. From the hazy appearance in the glass, to the dirty things it will make you do, to that dirty feeling that comes on the morning after. Highly recommended, this is how one parties in the Pacific Northwest.

a pretty basic pale ale here that i wanted to like more than i did. its a fine beer, clean and all, but pretty heavy as a pale goes, with some lingering grain heft to it and some bitterness that doesnt come with very much flavor from the hops, so its a bit filling without as much flavor or uniqueness as i had hoped for, but a fun one to sip on out back of their brewery overlooking the river there, im not sure there is a beer that i wouldnt like in this seat, what an amazing setting they have right here! this is clear and golden and a shade richer than many, shiny and heady too, looks nice. smells and tastes a touch tired to me, honey sweetness from the malt, simple though, and then some pine and bitter citrus to the hops, but more alpha acid than anything else, even almost approaching the ipa range on it. i get some slight astringency here too, but it finishes up quicker at the end, and overall i think its pretty indicative of the pales of this region maybe a decade ago. its not real dry hoppy, drinks way hearty and even heavy for its modest strength, and just tastes kind of old school, even though some elements of it continue to seem fresh. just okay overall, i think fine execution but an unexciting recipe. tough to beat the scenery on their patio though, had a blast relaxing in here and sipping this more or less average pint of pale.
