I enjoyed this beer as my exposure to pale ales continues to grow. It isn’t so overly hoppy that I didn’t want another after the first glass as I feel with some pale ales. The cascade hops give it a nice citrus and flower mix to create a really good beer. This could definitely make a good session beer but I think it could fill you up pretty quickly (will let you know after drinking a few more). It would be tough to mix this with other brews because five minutes after drinking, I still have the strong hop flavor in the back of my mouth. Overall a pretty good beer that I would keep on hand in the fridge.
