When It Rains, It Cascades by Low Road Brewing poured tawny amber (Style 18, American Pale Ale) into my pint glass with a terrific off-white head that lasted well into the full session. While I allowed the beer to warm, I tried several times to coax some sort of hop aroma out of it, but was seemingly stymied each go-round. There was a very discernable caramel character to the aroma, very butterscotch-like.  

When I moved onto tasting, while the caramel flavorings carried over from the aroma, it was still lacking in hop flavor and characteristics. It came about with a low-to-medium hop bitterness with some biscuity flavors backed with a fairly robust mouthfeel. Although not quite a pale ale, it could be well enjoyed more thoroughly as an American amber ale.
