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.

Bottled. Mild stale hops, a bit grassy and metallic, and oddly enough some chocolate sweetness. Brothy, too. Dull amber-orange clear with mild haze, topped with a very thin head. Medium watery body, with medium-light carbonation. Starts with medium sweet maltiness, caramel and graininess. Light carbonic acidity and tangy gaseousness, even a tad salty. Dry papery hops lend a mild to medium bitterness in the finish, with a soy-brown sugar cling on the tongue. Dry bitter after, bit metallic.

Pours a clear copper with a dense, frothy beige head with patchy lacing. The nose is of earthy, citric, and piny hops with a light caramel backing. Medium-bodied and slick with a significantly bitter, tongue-squeezing finish. The flavor is of resinous earthy hops and lesser notes of citrus, pine and caramel malt. This beer will definitely satisfy if you’re looking for a hop-fix, but I found it fairly unbalanced. Without the malt backbone to counter the big hop bitterness, in this beer, it isn’t really my kind of IPA.

Pours an amber with a clinging head. Aroma of nothing but hops. Taste of more toasted grain with hops. Wish this tasted like it smelled.

Honestly not the best, even more honest not even close, but nice aroma, easy to drink, and in a public setting quite enjoyable, plus rather universal. Simply put, a gateway IPA. An IPA suitable for bud light fanatics.

Bottle from Black ForestCO. Pretty orange color wurh small off white head. Floral citus aroma. The taste was the same with nice light malty sweetness. Really oily looking in the glass. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Bottle pours gold orange with a white head. Aroma of orange citrus and cookie. Orange grapefruit flavors with grassy notes. Too grassy. Sweet malts and a light bitterness.

Sampled at the Odds and Ends Tasting II on 10/19/07: Lightly hazed orange-amber color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. Hops and grapefruit in the nose with a light malt undertone. Medium-bodied with a moderately hoppy character that has floral and grapefruit notes. Some malt and spice is present too. The finish is somewhat hoppy and lingers a bit. Decent overall.
