Hoptober Golden Ale
Not what I look for in a beer and a little light for the style. Golden straw, very clear, but has a great white head and lots of retention. I love the smell of Cascade hops and this is no exception. Your nose fills up with pine and citrus notes. Deosn't taste as good as it smells. The pine and citrus is there, and your palate will mention spices like cloves and all spice, but the different flavors don't seem to go well together. The mouthfeel isn't great either. It's pretty much bitter from beginning to end, which is fine, but it's almost sour in the swallow. It's not a bad beer to drink, but the flavors are pretty stout and like I said, I didn't feel they went very well together. It has great lacing, however.
