Point Cascade Pale Ale

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

This poured an amber color with a moderate white head. The aroma contains some citrus, light caramel, and grassy notes. The flavor is nothing very exciting and more malty than hoppy. Some citrus and malty notes. Overall unassuming kind of blah pale ale.

Poured a thin head with a light amber color with a mild taste with a decent amount of hops but not overpowering. A good beer at a good price. No aftertaste at all.

Beer pours a hazy orange color with a nice medium sized head. Nice amount of lacing around the glass. Aroma of hops and citrus. Flavor is grapefruit and hops with the bitterness and the end. Smoothe and refreshing.

Pours a light amber with very little head. Some citrusy hops present in aroma. Taste is very mild for a pale ale--not enough flavor or hop bitterness to be a great pale ale. Overall, not a bad beer but there are many better ones available in the style.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This beer pours a copper body with a thin white head. Nice citrus hop aroma with a little pine. Decent hop flavor, grapefruit and lemon in the taste. suprisingly tastey.

The draught is clean and clear; deep straw-colored with a solid lace-producing noggin. Mild on both the nose and the palate, but there's more flavor here than on first impression. Yes, the hops are a tad timid for the style, but they do match the stealthy smooth malt flavors perfectly. The initial impulse of expectation is to think bland and reserved, but that misperception quickly yields to a surprising appreciation of balance and quality. This gets my hearty recommendation for those apprehensive about leaving the hometown shelter of their pale lagers. Here's something just a touch more challenging and much more satisfying to be found out here in Stevens Point, Wisconsin: voted one of Relocate-America's™ "Top 10 Best Places to Live in 2007". This brew is enough of a crowd-pleaser (and a me-pleaser) that it earned session-beer status this spring with a half-barrel on tap in my barn. It may not match up with the hearty left-coast APAs but then "when you're out of Point, you're out of town" anyway.
