12oz bottle served in an English pint glass. Crystal clear light amber pour with a huge off-white head. Smells of light citrus and biscuit. Has a nutty, fruity flavor which is very refreshing. Leaves a nice spiderweb of lacing. Nicely balanced.

Bottle, bottled first week of January, I think. Remarkably fresh tasting if that’s the case. Aroma of citrus, toast, bready malt. Flavor more the same, playfully fruity, tinglingly bitter. Very airy, refreshing. Semi-dry, lightly bitter finish. Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a light brown with a small head. Aroma and flavor of toasted malt, buttery toast, and faint flowery hops. Wheat cracker in the flavor. Quite tasty and a similar beer to Troegs Pale Ale. Would try again for sure!

On a very hoppy night of beers this beer was a nice change. The Denver Pale Ale pours a amber color with a huge head. I have no idea if this was just a freak thing but both my and my friend’s beer took about 15 minutes to pour. It was a real head too, very frothy and full. On first taste I found It was smooth and a little sweet. It was well balanced and sat very nicely on the palate. It finished with a slight bitterness.

12 oz bottle. Pours amber, small head. Aroma of caramel and a bit doughy. Flavor is quite floral and some citrus in the background. Medium to light mouthfeel, somewhat dry, and a short bitter lingerness, I was expectiing more of a crisp finish.

Pours dark golden with generous off white, frothy head that resists discipating. This pale ale has an awesome crisp bitterness. The hops are dominant but delightful. Have another? Sure would.

Pours gold with pink hues and voluminous white head. Aroma is hop-loaded with grapes, must, and damp earth. Flavor is balanced, but bitterness is certainly the dominant character; there are malt undercurrents and caramel, but I wouldn’t call this "sweet." Palate is thin and crisp, complimenting the dry, light -medium body. This works well for what it is.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a very opaque copper color with a light, fluffy head with hints of citurs and malts and caramel, still more on the bitter side. Crisp finish, not bad.
