Boulder Beer Hazed & Infused

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

nive hoppy boquet, carmely/malty with a some biterness and hop flavor, Hazy amber with a white head. Needs more hops

Maybe an older bottle, as this one was really mild, not much hop character at all, mostly sweet flavor, with some citrus on the aftertaste, some slight hops, but nothing to rave about, looks like a re-rate!

Bottled. At first pour, a wonderful fruity hops explosion, with apricot nectar and grapefruit. After that subsides, you have a slightly metallic caramel sweet note and less obvious fruity character. Hazy medium amber body with off-white foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with some decent malty sweetness, bit of caramel and toasted grain. Mild fruity hoppy notes with some citrus oil and decent acidity. Finish is light to mild bitter which stays on the tongue for a bit after. Carbonic fizziness. Light bitter after.

Hazy amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is tropical fruit sweet with a hint of burnt caramel. Flavor starts light caramel followed by some fruity citrus and a light grapefruit bitter finish. Light to medium body is watery with lively carbonation.

Clear copper with nice pillowy head. Floral hop and pine aromas persist off the smell, while quiet citrus and caramel scents seep in towards the back. The taste is piney hops directly up front, with a gradual rounded malt effect creeping in the back, with lingering drying spice and citrus flavors. Not bad, but not balanced enought to be super noteworthy.

Not enough malt to cover all the hops in this brew. Aroma was very nice, but the flavor was too unbalanced for me to enjoy more than a couple of them.

First, this was seriously confusing. This seems to be an IPA available draft at Rock Bottom in Minneapolis. A few years ago Town Hall in Minneapolis briefly had a wheat beer with the same name. I’ve spent a couple of hours dazed and confused making sure I had this right. The beer was hazy, dark copper, no head, moderate lacing. Nose of malt, grapefruit, and mint. Taste of sweet malts, sour grapefruit, bitter hops, maybe a touch of mint, and a sour and hoppy finish. Surprisingly small in the mouth. Worked for me, one of the two best of the sampler, but not a great IPA.

Deep golden color with thick, lightly golden head. Aroma is flowery; flavor is very bitter hops and some citrus. Not a whole lot behind it-- lacks complexity.
