This is one of the first new Anchor Brews made when Frederick Louis Maytag III took control. It is an American style IPA brewed with only cascade hops; it is thought to be the first modern American single-hop ale and dry-hopped ale.

Appearance: A slightly murky orange colour with a large but thin white head that dissipates quite quickly.
Aroma: A tad yeasty but with a strong undertone of resin that is synonymous with cascade hops; smells delicious.
Flavour: A bit of a malty front with hints of cloves and banana this then goes into a sweet resin flavour before developing a caramel note.
Body: Light with a little thinkness going down; but way too carbonated making it rough to drink, this does fade with time after pouring.
Aftertaste: A very dry bitterness with a hint of very green vegetation.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, definitely a solid 6, nice taste but let down by the carbonation and the aftertaste.
Price Range: £2.09 for a 355ml bottle, good price for a nice beer.
Food Pairings: I'm thinking this would go well with fresh peaches, maybe something like peaches and cream.
