Brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Denver, Colorado USA

tap at ørsted, copenhagen clear yellow, small white head.aroma is faint hops, pine. flavor is sweet, somewhat hoppy, caramel, sawdust. overall an okay ipa but doesn’t taste anything specail.

330 mL. Pours a clear light amber with a two-finger off-white, creamy head. Sticky, sheety, awesome lacework. Aromas of not much at all besides some floral hops and berries (strawberries?). Taste is a little weak compared to other craft IPAs in this league. This is some hazenut and Brazil nut in there with some subdued grapefruit hops but is very mild overall compared to other IPAs. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Sweet finish rather than dry and bitter. Very sweet overall for an IPA. I can’t believe this is really 65 IBUs. Some people rant and rave about this but I am not impressed.

pours a cloudy honey amber color with a thin but creamy looking white head...fine sediment throughout. poor retention. aroma has a bit of maltiness...caramel...followed by subtle citrus and earthiness. flavor is very earthy and bitter with a bit of maltiness at the end. mouthfeel is nice and the finish is very dry.

Poured an orange-dark golden color, with a huge head. smelled clean, citrus, hops. Tastes hoppy, bitter on the sides of my mouth, but doesnt linger too long, also get sweet malt. pretty good balance though overall, for a hoppy beer. Gets smoother and more mellow the more of it i drink. Overall a pretty darn good brew!

16 oz. pint - $6.75 (time to start drinking at home more often) at Taco Mac in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Arrived at the booth a deep, dark copper body with a thin, though lasting, white head. Smell: Fragrant hop aromas of bergamot, jarring grapefruit pith, and pine resin rest over a sturdy base of candyish pale malts. Taste: Sweet, nigh candied maltiness upfront with a lesser taste of caramel and toasted pale malts. Pithy, citrusy hop character infused with pine needles delivers a rather assertive hop bitterness. Finishes bittersweet, though only the cumulative bitterness persists into the aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. A touch sticky in the mouthfeel. Drinkability: Plenty of bold bitterness, but it’s backed up by enough sweet maltiness. A superlative example of an India Pale Ale and a valued member of the beer community. Surely we can all agree on that?

(35.5cl bottle) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a short off-white foamy layer. Slightly sweet (cara-)malty aroma with a well-blended, profound lemon-fruity, flowery and zesty hops character. Bitter flavour, medium bodied, crispy on the tongue. Dominating fruity and moderately piney hoppy notes, but with an always present caramel-malty base, drying out towards the bitter fruity (lemon, oranges) and delicately piney finish that last for a while. Very balanced IPA. I´d love to have the chance to get it just around the corner (19.II.09).

Bottle. Bit of a barleywine aroma, but flavor is all fruity IPA. Not very piney for me, but quite bitter - malt balance could be better, though I like this beer quite a lot. I like the new label.

Pours a clear amber color with a nice white head and good lacing on the glass. The aroma is fruity. Full carbonation hits your tongue with force making room for a short lived maltiness followed by a hop presence that although pronounced, it is an IPA afterall, is not overwhelming. I did not get the impression that hops were added just to show off as in some IPAs, they were part of the plan.
