12 ounce Bottle at Snooze, Denver 12/10/2007, starting the day off in style washing down a steak and eggs breakfast before embarking on a bar crawl of the city! Hoppy aroma. Some carbonation. Golden coloured hoppy and pale with a crisp and bitter malt finish.

Golden medium hopped English Style Pale Ale. C-hops’ presence give DPA a grapefruit and pine flavor, but its balance leans towards the malts.

If I could land this beer on a regular basis, I could see this one being stocked all the freakin’ time. A top notch Pale Ale from a brewery that I’m always excited to have. The two bottles of this stuff I had was gone all too quickly, but it left a nice impression.

The aroma has an incredible fruity profile that I associate with summer (peaches, apricots, pineapples), slightly floral with nice malt support. Flavor had more of the incredible peach/pineapple combo, a clean malt profile with a light toast note. Just really refreshing, and maybe it was one of those "right beer at the right moment" kinda things. But they were both really good.

Aroma is hoppy. Appearance a medium, translucent brown. Large head. Hoppy, but much maltier too than your standard IPA for example. Pleasant.

Sometimes it is nice just to really enjoy having a beer and not think about everything going on in it. This is a very nice sessionable pale ale. It was poured from a bottle into a pint glass. A little bit of a rough pour caused it to foam quite a bit, but very solid and drinkable.

Pours amber with thick off white head. Aroma is very earthy with notes of wood. Flavor is nutty with nice malt backbone. Would be great with pizza. Good beer.

Peet/bourbon colored body capped with a fluffly off-white head. Intense aroma of both nut and grain. Great mouthfeel. Hits all of your senses. Finishes with the nutty/malty tones you find on the nose. Not lacking in hops. Very well balanced. Very good.
