When you have to get the beer, don't fool around

Cascadian Dark Ale, by Alley Kat

Alley Kat released 5 limited edition 650ml beers for their 15th anniversary. I only got my hands on the fifth and final one: Cascadian Dark Ale. The lady at the brewery explained to me that Cascadian Dark Ales are also known as Black Indian Pale ale (IPA). This beer pours a dark red-brown colour and smells sweeter than it tastes. The palate is more bitter than I expected which was a pleasant surprise because of the sweet chocolaty nose. It was all around a smooth, well-balanced drink and I hope I can get my hands on a few more. I also hope I can get my hands on the other 4 anniversary beers which names are Smoked Porter, Trippel, Apple Wit, and Ginger Beer.

Alley Kat is doing it right by keeping it interesting and ever changing.
