Commercial Description:
We ventured into unfamiliar territory to create an IPA to fit our style. An intense floral nose, firm balanced flavor and long hoppy finish make Rocky Mountain IPA our very own.

Amber color beer with an attractive, fluffy off white head. Nose of grain and grassy hops. This IPA hassome orange juice and tangerine citrus, but the finish has the same cut grass bitterness that I get out of GLBC Burning River that I find a little harsh. Light caramel sweetness with some doughy bread under it. Easy drinking IPA that would stand up well to bar food. Thanks to Blackforestcol for the bottle.

Bottle. This IPA delivers on its promises of an intense floral aroma and a long, hoppy finish. Medium amber pour with a small, slightly off-white head. Huge floral aroma with notes of toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Medium body and watery texture. Long, thick, sticky floral finish.

Pours a butterscotch/orange color with a thick, creamy, lasting head. Strong bitter nose of floral and grass clippings with a hint of sweetness. A very dirty hop flavor. Doesn’t have the strong citrus or floral that so many American IPAs have. There are some nice honey undertones that create some balance. It is a little bit tannic and has a really dry finish.

(12oz bottle, thanks artusory) Small beige head atop clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, cat urine, light straw. Taste is medium sweet, herbal/grapefruit, light caramel. Light-medium body.

Bottle via trade. beautiful looking IPA. Orange golden color, piney citrusy hop aroma. Flavor does not equal the visual beauty. Something seems a little off. Decent piney.hop flavor. I see some call it earthy, maybe but overall an ok IPA

12oz bottle, courtesy of artusory. Thanks, Ryan! Pours a deep, orange-golden color; light tan head with decent retention and lacing. Solid floral and earthy hops in the aroma; earthy malts and candy sugar underneath. Medium mouthfeel: slightly dusty and earthy malt character, with a decent amount of floral / earthy hoppiness; the dustiness detracts, but otherwise a solid, catty IPA. Medium, bittering citrus and earthy hops in the finish; some astringency.

Fruity, somewhat vanilla aroma. Hoppy, but not too heavy-handed. Caramel, hops, some milkiness. Buffered, slightly chalky mouth but finishes with some acidity. Medium dark, ruddy brown.
