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.

Aroma- bready and grapefruit like. Hop aroma is medium to moderate. Biscuit aroma is a bit aggressive. Appearance- Orange in Color with a medium-strength tan head. Clarity is decent, but has a strong chill haze. Taste- Well balanced, although there is more malt flavor than I would expect for an IPA. Nice resiny, citric hop flavor, juicy! Palate- Moderately full body, high carbonation. Overall- Nicely balanced IPA that would beat out many beers, unless paired up with some quality IPA’s then it would fall short.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy, amber body with a one finger small white head and lacing until the finish. A fairly bitter smell with some sweet grapefruit and alcohol notes. Some earthy undertones come through also. A nice robust, bitter, hop taste with a slight grapefruit citrusy backbone. Overall, a good IPA but just average.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a golden amber with a moderate yellow-white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left some spotty lace. Aroma of overripe oranges and caramel. Unfortunately, the flavor has none of the fruitiness of the aroma. Weak malt up front followed by some fairly strong hops bitterness that is mostly flavorless save for a few notes of pine. This is not something I would drink again given the vast number of better IPA’s out there.

Houston Tasting August. Thanks to Kaggie97 for this beer. Pours a cheddar orange (™ Kaggie97) with no head. Aroma of wet hops and floral notes. Flavor is fresh hops with nice bitterness. Dry palate. Typical IPA.

Rating 1090, kinda surprised to see this one on the shelves at the Macklind Ave Deli here in St Louis. But gave it a shot anyways. Dark copper with medium lacing that was short lasting. Nose kind of faint but when present was pleasant. Dry and thin. Overall pleasant. Would be interested in trying more of their stuff.

CNose is std light IPA - nothing of note. Flavor is crisp, refreshing citrus hops, a lttle pney as it warms. Finish is a little watery. Nice summer porch drinker, but nothing to go out of your way for.

12oz bottle from Lucas Liquors in Lone Tree, CO. Pours clear orangish copper with one finger off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt, hops, citrus and pine. Flavor is dominated by sweet malt with hops and light citrus and pine. Kind of reminds me of Hopslam without a ton of hops. Not a bad ale just cut down on the malt and add more hops.

Poured amber with very little head. Pine hop aroma. Dry pine hop flavor and hop bitterness dominate this brew. A hint of malt adds very little balance. On tap at Dive 96
