Early Bird
American Cascade and Simcoe hops go into this spring beer. The name is an American expression for someone who gets up early and gets more out of the day. Collectors list it as introduced in spring 2009, on a yellow label with a drawing of a bird and the words American Spring Ale. It stands beside Black Bird, Sea Bird and NightingAle among the beers with bird names.
