Beer: Stevens Point Brewery Point Cascade Pale Ale
Appearance: Surprisingly clear, light golden beer with very thin head and not much lacing.
Smell: I get some fruit/citrus overtones, but mostly yeast. Again, surprising for this style.
Taste: The word that comes to mind is bland, perhaps the blandest pale ale I’ve ever had. It is over carbonated and certainly crisp, but tastes more like a summer lager than a pale ale.
Mouthfeel: Very thin – soda water.
Overall: Huge disappointment from a brewery I respect. I really like their marzen but this is just flat out poor. Served in the environmentally favorable container – a can – that many craft breweries are moving to, so they do get props for that. Otherwise, a big disappointment. Maybe something decent on a hot summer day, but that’s about it: C-
