“A three malt blend provides a medium bodied ale that is balanced with Northern Brewer and Cascade hops from Washington’s Yakima Valley, giving it a distinctive hop bitterness and aroma.” According to their web site. 

This ale pours a light and clear amber color with a fine one finger egg-shell colored head.  The aroma is very faint.  Biscuit and light floral hops greet the nose.  This one leans toward the hoppy side of the fence with floral and a touch of citrus notes.  The malts are at work with a light bready feel.  This would be a good introductory beer to IPA’s. 

This is an average Pale Ale.  It’s very drinkable and good with a sandwich.  I usually have this once a summer.
