Draught at the brewery in Denver. I really enjoyed this one. This is the maltiest pale ale I’ve ever had. Definitely has the hop profile but also a sweet, cookie like, biscuity malt side.

Draught at the GD tap room. Normal appearance and copper colour for the style. Just a thin off-white head on top and nice small carbonation bubbles. Smooth hops in the aroma...nothing overpowering. More smoothness in the flavour from piney hops. Crisp, short finish.

Pours a clear light copper color in the glass with a a small white head that faded fast and left nice lacing. Smells of hops with a sweet floral undertone. Tastes crisp and hoppy with a malty middle and a crisp hop finish. Good and clean, easy to drink and not lacking in flavor. Tasty.

Nice aroma of oranges and peach. Amber in color with a slight foam. Its aroma is misleading to the flavor. Very bitter and grassy! Bitter and snappy to the palate... overall I’m not impressed.
