Commercial Description:
What's in a name? The brewer's mantra, "more hops," is taken as far as possible in this beer. A deep amber body balances the bitterness and makes that long day at work seem a distant memory. Just ask for a pint of "the dank!!" This beer is also dry hopped with whole flower, Cascade hops.

Hazy yellow-amber color. Citrus and lemongrass aromas, along with hints of roasted malts. Strong hop flavor with citrus. Bitter yet refreshing, because of a nice clean finish. This is good. I think their XXX Pale Ale builds on this with a more extreme hop flavor, though.

Tap @ Mountain sun: Poured a hazy deep amber color with an off-white head. The hoppy aroma was citrusy and fresh. Some grassy notes as well. The malt in the aroma was strong enough to give balance. Sweet with some fruitiness. Malty and nutty flavor with some citrus running through the middle. Light body that drys out a bit. Mild to modderate bitterness.

On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Slightly hazy deep copper color has a thin, stringy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of slightly toasty and grainy malts with a touch of grapefruity hops. Body starts pretty fresh and citrusy hoppy with good toasty caramel maltiness throughout toward a crisp, very drinkable bittersweet finish.

Very cloudy light to med. orange in color. Smells quite malty and sweet with hints a caramel and a slight american hoppiness. The flavor is unbalanced in favor of a strong hop bitterness with alot of citrus. Very tasty though.

Sampled at brewhouse in Boulder. Actually had this on nitro so it come out like an amber ale and guiness appearance. Drank super smooth. Had a mild head on it and a mild bitterness to it. A very nice pale ale.

On tap at the Mountain Sun Brew Pub. Tried the Nitro and regular versions side by side. Poured a deeper orange color wtih an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, oranges, and some pine. Tastes follow suit. A little on the sugary sweet side.
