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.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange with a off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of floral hops backed with decent amounts of malts. The flavor finds nice hop characteristics with a good amount of caramel malts. Medium bitterness throughout and a medium body. (Rating from Sept ’07)

Bottle: Pour is very clear amber/orange/golden with a nice fluffy off white head. Aroma is strong pine with some floral character. Flavor is up front bitter hops and malt but suddenly gets a slight bit watered down in the finish. Until this moment, I really like this brew. Fresh and well blended. May drink again.

Pours medium amber from 12 oz bottle forming good size foamy head. Aroma of floral hops, raw malts and mango. Flavour of hoppy bitterness with particular malty sweetness. Pine resins resonate, however not overly powerful. Somewhat unrefined in the end, but drinkable.

Hoppy and bitter, but nothing exciting about it. I would say that it is pretty middle of the road for an ipa. Decent aroma and feels good in the mouth, but wouldn’t go after it again unless there were very few options.

12 oz. bottle. Clear, amber color with thin, light tan head. Nice hoppy aroma, with doses of both floral and citrus notes. Chewy, malty body with a nice kick of hops as the beer opens up. Long bitter finish. This is a really nice beer, well done.

Poured a hazy amber color with a nice tan head that lasted. The aroma was of citrus and floral hops. First sip was chocolate and malt with a slight bitterness at the back end. It started out with a good hoppy balance with the malt, maybe the malt was slightly dominating. As the beer warms up the bitterness comes out and whacks you in the face. The beer ends extremely bitter with a decent malt aroma. An OK IPA, nothing extraordinary, a solid beer.
