Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Boulder, Colorado USA

I had this on draft at a great beer joint and I love this beer. The marigold color is very appealing with a light white head, The flavor is nice and hoppy with floral and citrus notes, I got mostly orange maybe a little lemon. It’s very smooth. I would definitely recommend this as a solid IPA

Sampled a bunch of times in Boulder. Has a very nice hoppy finish. Well worth a try.

Bottled. An orange-amber beer with a slight haze under a thick bubble beige head. The aroma is very grassy and grapefruity - very fresh. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy at first with strong notes of grass, then a hay character comes along, to be overwhelmed grapefruit notes, which carries thru to a dry hay like and very bitter end. Somewhere in the middle a slight note of caramel creeps in - but this is mainly a hoppy beer nice.

Pours hazy gold/orange with a one-finger head that retained well and lev=ft nice intricate lacing. Subtle herbal and flowery scent with a touch of citrusy hops. Bitter hops flavors dominate the taste, mostly grapefruit and orange peel, with a solid caramel malt backbone to keep it in balance. Lively carbonation, medium mouthfeel, and a citrus and bready lingering aftertaste. Not as over the top with the hoppiness as I expected, but a very good beer.

Extremely strong aroma compriised of floral, citrus hop smells. Delicious hoppy IPA with flavor that lingers. This ale is amazing!

Pours a clean medium gold/amber with a tall long lasting off white, yellowish head that leaves great lacing. Though I have had this stuff enough to know the head is pretty well hit or miss. Aroma is alot of bitter grapefruit and citrus hops, pineapple, honey drenched melon slices, and a really large amount of sweet fruity floral notes toward the end. Malt notes aren’t bad either but not as fantastic as the hops, a decent amount of caramel, toasted english muffins with butter and cane sugar, just a hint of biscuit. Flavor is sweet red grapefruit up front, with a splash of lime and orange zest, followed by enough caramel to make me happy, sourdough toast with marmalade and pickled ginge. Big orange blossom floral sweetness meets bitter hops and a bit of spice to the finish.

Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a shaker. This IPA poured a golden amber with a light haze and a thin, lasting off-white head. Heavy, even rings of lace coated the glass. The aroma included pungent grapefruit, tropical fruits, a touch of white pepper, and small amount of caramel. The flavor consisted of grapefruit juice, spicy hops, and a trace of caramel malt. Quite bitter on the tongue, but still very drinkable. The mouthfeel was medium to full-bodied and had light carbonation. A well made, quaffable IPA. Not to shabby.

Pours a clear light amber, plenty of head/lace. I like the aroma, remarkabally floral. This has a fairly nice balance in the flavor with a good malt backbone for the stong hop bitterness. I like the citrus on this, it is very well controlled by more pine and herbal bitterness.
