Boulder Beer Hazed & Infused

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

Fragrant grapefruit and pine needle aroma, smidgets of caramel,chill hazed with impressive head, taste is somewhat watery, undercarbonated, malts dont come through at all, I’m simply tasting bitter hop resin juice, I would almost say this is defective, if it wasn’t for that stunning aroma , to much dry hop,not enough of everything else

Appearance: Pours a cloudy amber body filled with scattered particles and topped with big, fluffy white head. Smell: Booming, resiny aroma of pine-infused potpourri and dried citrus fruits with just a very slight amount of caramel hiding under all those hops. Taste: Citrus flavors build atop the assertive hop bitterness and earthy undertones. Minimal toasted caramel malt flavor is thoroughly crushed by the hops and the long chalky, bitter finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body with a high level of fine carbonation. Drinkability: While I guess I can’t fault this beer too much for trying to go "LOOK! L@@K at ME!!" I have to acknowledge the big blank spot when it comes to any malt to balance out the hops.

An OK pale. Pine aroma. The bottle I had seemed slightly flat. Not particularly hoppy, and what I did taste in hops lacked a bit of the bitterness that I enjoy. The beer is drinkable, I am sure I will take care of the six-pack. But there are many pale ales that I prefer over this one.

Rated 4/10/07: The dry hopping was easily noticed in the wonderful flowery aroma. Cloudy copper pour with a 1" thick off white head and fluffy lacing. Mouthfeel was standard, easy finish. Nice flavor of light caramel malt and pine with a burst of orange and lemon flavors. Low bitterness is appealing as the hops are abundant in the nose and initial taste only. Well done, this is a keeper.

Bottled. Hazy pale golden coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Nice and refreshing with notes of malt, hops, pines, citrus and flowers.

Hoppy bitter bite @ first. Fruity / flowery aftertaste. Great lasting head. Good mouthfeel. Good quality beer.

On tap at Liars. A nice hazy golden color as the name implies, and quite a floral hops aroma off the fluffy white head. I am more of a fan of the big IPA’s, but I liked this one. Dry-hopping is definitely evident at the end of the palate in a nice bitter bite. Palate was a bit watery though, sweet initial citrus and pine flavors did not linger at all, a bit of disappointment. Overall, a decent pale ale thats worth a try.

12 oz bottle courtesy of rebelbeerguy. Poured a slight orangeish/amber with a small frothy off white head. Aroma of floweres and light pine. Flavor was the same with a slight hop bitterness. Nothing special.
