Solid IPA...nothing special, the description is a lot more interesting than the beer. Nothing i’d repeat again!

Tap. A great looking beer that was rich in amber color. The aroma was full and clean, just like the flavor. It was nice on the palate, intense, and flavorful. Smooth yet Inspiring. A solid IPA.

In a bottle from a mixpack. Good at first blush, but comes forth with a medicinal/bittery mid- to back palate. I’ll admit I’m not sure what "Colorado-style" IPA entails, entirely, but as a PNW supremacist it doesn’t do it for me.

12 oz bottle. Spicy floral hops in the nose, with a orangish brown pour and a small white head. Taste up front is all hops, with a nice alcohol finish and a lightly fizzy bottle.

On tap at the brewery on 02/28/2009. Clear golden amber body with a large frothy off-white head. Sweet citrus and resiny aroma. Sweet citrus and resiny hop flavor with some light caramel. Medium full body with moderately high carbonation.

The aroma is very hoppy with a very pine like hops and a bit of citrus. The malt is very sweet and caramel like with nuts, bread, and butter in it as well. The appearance is amber with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall a very nice IPA.

Bottle: Pours a rich amber with copper and red tones. Medium white head with littel lacing. The smell is piney, sweet resin hops. A punch of hop, right in the front. If mellows as your palate gets accustomed to the intensity. A definite session brew.

12 oz bottle from a variety 12 pack purchased at EZ Liquors. Pours a clear copper amber with a large fluffy off white head that had some nice lasting power. Aroma was a suprise with a nice dose of subtle, yet fresh, floral and citrus hops, some malty grains as well. Body is very thin and watery with a quick fading bitter aftertaste. Flavor is mostly citrus and floral hops. I was very suprised by this and might actually grab some more, definitely would if the body was just a tad fuller.
