Bottle @ Denver International Airport Rock Bottom Location: Pours golden with lots of clarity and a white film of head. Simple aroma- notes of mildly fruity yeast esters, some biscuit-like malt notes and grassy hints. Light crisp feel with a clean yeasty body- evident bread crust, even sour dough hints (when it warms). Biscuit/dough back with a grassy mildly bitter finish. A somewhat solid Golden. Straight forward and sessionable.

Pours dark golden with a mostly receding off-white head. Taste is light caramel, herbal grasses. Medium bodied, lively carbonation.

Sweet nose, with a buttery body, and the hops add a bitter almost ester quality.

Poured a golden color with a tall head. Aroma of sweet malt and grain. It drinks a lot different than it smells. More bitter and acidic than I would have thought. Still quite drinkable.

bottle. pours a nice golden with a 1/4" white head. not much to the aroma... some light bread and faint malts. a bit too sour on the front of the palate... also a bit sweet. light to medium body with a lot of carbonation. very soft on the palate. somewhat bitter finish, but not overly satisfying. Just a bit off... but still very drinkable - I just wouldn’t buy it. Not sure how they won a medal for this one.
