Freshwater Pale Ale
The beer Akasha launched with in April 2015 and still the best known of the range. Cascade is the only hop named, and it shows: floral and fruity notes with the grapefruit edge that variety is known for. A slightly sweet malt backbone sits underneath and keeps the beer from drying out entirely. The bitterness is low by this brewery's standards, which is what makes it easy to drink.
