Commercial Description:
Introducing Cold Hop British-style ale, a unique ale with a rich golden hue, and the 7th release in our Looking Glass Series of specialty beers. Cold Hop's pleasantly fruity, floral hop aroma and earthy flavor perfectly balance the mild sweetness of the English grains, resulting in a refreshing yet high-gravity British-Style ale.

bottle - Pours hazy copper with a medium sized head. Aroma is mostly of pine and citrus hops with a hint of caramel malt. The flavor is a well balanced mix of sweet malt flavors and pine accented hops. It’s medium bodied and overall a good quaff without being a truly great one.

From a 12 ounce bottle. Deep hazy amber colored with a light khaki head. The aroma is classic grapefruit with roasted peanuts and toffee. The taste is subtle, I love that this one does not slap you in the face with it’s hops. More subtle. The body is very soft with notes of toffee and light oranges. A silky smooth body make this one go down easy. I had no idea this was 6.5% alcohol. Nicely done.

Bottle. Aromas are heavy of hoppy pine and citrus and are detectable from across the room. Color is a darkish amber with about two fingers of head. On closer inspection, hops are followed up by some caramel malt scents, too. Flavor is a nice mix of caramel malt and hops that is interesting, but not spectacular.

12 oz bottle pours a hazy coppery orange. Spicy, hoppy aroma. Taste is of hops , but not like MOJO or Hazed and Infused. Grassy, herbal, and piney, with a little malt to balance it our. A nice beer, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I would have a Mojo IPA. I guess I prefer the over powering citrus hops.

Pours a bronze-orang color, thin head rapidly fades. Aroma is hard to pin down; strong malt background with piney hops. The piney hop come through in the flavor, there’s also a light citrus flavor in the mix. A bready malt holds it together. There’s a long-lasting hop after taste. Seems to be a classic English IPA.

12 oz. bottle, pours an opaque golden color with minimal head. Very refreshing citrusy aroma fraught with hops. Flavor is good but the palate is amazingly smooth. Pleasant aftertaste and overally an excellent beer- my favorite so far out of Boulder.

12 oz bottle. Pours a medium hazy light amber- deep copper with a nice head. Aroma is tons of tea-hops, grassy, herbal and flowery- with a mild toasty malt backbone- reminded me of Troegs ESB. Good hop flavor, grass, herbal, tons of nice english hops and a good sweet malt character- crisp and clean finish makes it very easy drinking.

12 oz. Pours a pale orange colour with a medium off-white head that leaves small bits of lacing and fades completely. The aroma is of grapefruit citrus, bready malts, pine and some caramel. The flavour brings a toasted element with some floral hops and and grapefruit citrus again. Medium bodied with a slightly slick mouthfeel with gentle carbonation. This is a very straight forward, typically English brew that is balanced and pleasant, but nothing to actively seek.
