Description:
Named for the majestic creatures that embody the proud spirit of the West, Wild Salmon Organic Pale Ale is a light bodied and beautifully balanced pale ale. Its gentle malt sweetness is nicely matched by late additions of Organic Yakima Cascade hops. These Certified Organic hops come from a small farm in Yakima, Washington, which in 2002 released the first commercially available organic hops grown in the USA. With its delicious hop flavor, Pale Ale enthusiasts will love this beer as much as they love the beautiful region that has inspired it.

Varietal Definition
Pale Ale:
Pale ales tend to be fuller-bodied with a more assertive character on the palate the standard bitter in a English brewers portfolio. In England it is generally a bottled, as opposed to being sold on draft. Despite the name, pale ales are not pale but, in fact, more of an amber hue. The original designation was in reference to this style of beer being paler than the brown and black beers which were more popular at the time of the styles inception. In the US pale ale styles have become one of the benchmarks by which craft brewers are judged. The US version of pale ale is crisper and generally much more hoppy. Indeed this style is well suited to assertive domestic Pacific Northwestern hop varieties that give the US examples inimitable character.
