Boulder Beer Hazed & Infused

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

12 oz bottle (Thanks once again Pam). My initial thought is that this beer has some good things going on, but would that much better if it was a bit stronger. The aroma itself is actually rather "hazy" with some nice mellow hop notes of mango citrus and leafy herb. Also, some melon and berry fruitiness, pale grains, and very light caramel. On the pour, there was a small layer of wispy white head, a medium opacity, lightly clouded body, and light pumpkin orange in color. The overall feel of the beer is not watery at all and actually feels a decent amount heavier than the abv would suggest, but sadly the flavors don’t come out in the same way. Good notes (that maybe could have a bit more malt backing) of slightly spiced herbal hops, mango, various citrus fruits, some fruit candy, pale malts, and some other medium sweet fruits. The finish has a uniquely sticky herbal/fruit hoppiness that I also enjoyed. This was a nice beer, but as mentioned, would have liked several aspects to be bolder.

Mostly plain, but also slightly spicy. A good beer, a great party beer. Brewed here in Colorado.

Dry hopped is right. This beer poured with minimal head on tap at the Old Chicago restaurant in Manhattan Kansas. Immediately you taste the hops, but it only has the finest veneer of bitterness and a little more might be nice, though the hop flavor without the bitterness does lend this beer a little uniqueness. Moderate carbonation, good mouth feel, reminds me of grapefruit. I recommend letting this one warm up a few degrees since it lacks complexity served ice cold. Good beer.

Really nice floral/grapefruit aroma. Pours a nice body and head. Taste is not as hoppy and as intense as I expected. Still, decent IPA.

Pours a hazy amber with an off white persistent head. Smells of citrus, earthy, some tea, resiny. Tastes lightly bitter and caramelly with a nice citrussy element.

Cloudy orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is pine, citrus and some sweet malt. Flavor is similar. Not terribly hop forward, but there’s a nice bitter tinge and some good malt backbone. Nice easy drinking beer.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: "Hazy" dark amber color with a sizeable, off-white head. Good head retention and decent lacing. Aroma: Evenly balanced with pine, orange, and caramel notes. Flavor: Mirrors the nose to some degree with lots of hops giving pine, citrus, and a touch of earth notes and the malt giving caramel, a little toasted malt, and some fruitiness. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-long, bitter finish. Overall: A pretty decent APA. You can certainly do worse. Recommended.

Pours hazy brown/amber with a thick off white head. Aroma is strong floral hops. Flavor is a lightly maltiness with some woody hops The finish is roasted nuts. It’s decent but there’s nothing to exciting about it.
