Point Cascade Pale Ale is handcrafted combining special top-fermenting yeast and a dry hopping process to create this truly classic American Pale Ale. The intriguing character is derived from generous quantities of the choicest Yakima Valley Cascade hops and the finest crystal, 2 row pale, and Munich malts. The result is a delicious American Pale Ale with a signature fragrant hop bouquet and soft malt palate.

[1] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/6/2008 11:10:20 PM)
"Sampled from bottle. Pours copper with a creamy head and intricate lacing. Candy malts are bold in the aroma - even more than the hops perhaps. Balanced. The malts dominate the flavor as well - caramel, candy and bread. An odd combination. Medium-light body. Not that great. Not bad."

[2] Review by doulos31 from Middletown, DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/25/2008 6:25:32 AM)
"Beer pours copper orange color with okay head. Weak aroma of caramel malt. Caramel malt dominated the flavor, but very mild and subdued. Mild and subdued hopping in this as well. As it warmed, it got worse, with wet cardboard like flavors emerging to the point that I poured the final third because my stomach was starting to feel ill. Beers like this are a total waste of time."

[3] Review by thirstyone from LAWTON, MI, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/16/2008 8:43:38 PM)
"This was a different pale ale than we are used to. I liked the color and the tasted seemed kind of mild to me.I did pick up the cascade's however i felt like there should of been more of them and the malt backbone seemed light to me. I could not detect much munich malt also. Overall, a good commercial beer for the price. "

[4] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/4/2007 11:54:51 AM)
"Aroma is of bittering hops as well as some grapefruit with slight hop resin and has a sweet malty backbone. Appearance is a light copper to orange in color with a medium-sized head on top that diminishes to a carbonated light-tan head that adheres to the glass. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp with hoppy complexity as well as malty balance with a palate that is slightly dry and well-rounded and smooth. Flavor is of hoppy bitter and malty sweetness that compliment each other well with some dry grapefruit with an aftertaste that is crisp and tasty with a finish that becomes rather dry and not overly hoppy and seems to be a quality example of the style. Overall, not a bad beer here and is well-balanced and easy drinking and could be a great pale ale given the sessionability of this ale."
