Beer List

  • Cave Dale Ale

      Package: draught
      Place: Berkeley Beer Festival, Berkeley CA
      Score: 15 points
      Overall Impression
      Looks identical to Sierra Nevada Wheat. Yellow opaque. Thick white head. Spicy-yeasty aroma. Very chewy toasted malt character. Tastes like a wheat beer, but they say that's due to the "organic malt". Sweet. Refreshing. Their description: "Pale, hazy, vital, organic, unfiltered, fresh."
  • IPA
    • Date: May 22, 1994 (#335)
      Package: draught
      Place: Berkeley Beer Festival, Berkeley CA

      Overall Impression
      Brown-amber opaque. Thick white head. Toasted malt aroma...no hops. Thick but not lingering. Underhopped for style. Very similar to their Pale Ale but a bit darker.
