Piney and very earthy hop flavors. Truly one of my favorites. It has become almost impossible to get in Iowa. A fantastic beer hands down! Great Divide Co. has continued to brew unbelievable world-class ales!

Maybe my new fravorite pale ale. Great tasting hops, wonderful aroma, and a very smooth feel in the mouth. Pours with white head. Great brew.

Full nose decked with tons of hops pine and floral citrus aroma. Appears copper colored brass with some light sut floating about in equilibrium. Thick topping of foam and leaves behind plenty of beautiful lace. The flavor is delicious with a big smack of wet juciy hops that are so moist and fresh it would make Snoop Dogg say sticky icky icky. Damn good harvest ale. Great Divide just blows me away with how good they brew,

Wow. What a beer. Hops are the predominant feature. Great tasting. UNreal. Can’t wait to get some more.

for a pale ale this is really the shit. pours copper orange with a whisper of haze, fluffy mushroom head. nose of grassy, resiny cascade hops. as the brew slips over your lips and evelops the tongue huge citrus pine flavors burst. bitter grapefruit that squeezes the parotid glands to excess salivation. nice balancing of fullness on the palate and malt. as the bottle states you definately get a feeling of big hop freshness. bernie the brewmaster told me this beer was a nightmare to brew, they were picking hop flowers out of every inch of the system for weeks. well worth it. for a smaller abv in the pale ale group a top notch everyday drinking beer. if i could get some more....delicious.

Wasn’t sure if this was anything special on the initial taste but I really warmed up to it. Dark gold color. Beautiful lacing on the glass. Don’t know if I taste fresh hops but I will say the hop flavor definitely lingers in the mouth longer, which is always a great thing. Interesting and a great brew. Hands down the best Pale Ale I’ve ever tasted.
