Tap at brewpub, Boulder.
Pours a nice cheddar orange with an aroma of perfume-infused hops. Flavor is a sublte chocolate coffee. Average mouthfeel. Meh.

mountain sun, boulder. nose primarily of ginger, candy sugar and juniper berries, with lighter notes of sweet and floral garlic and soapy/floral yeast esters/dough. some hint of mint or green apple noticed nearer to room temperature. rich body full of sugar, somewhat crystalline and caramelized but not to a level I would describe as burnt. surprisingly clean throughout, and crisp with a mild sweetness in the finish after it dried out across the back. minerally hop bitterness. excellent beer from mountain sun.

Tap at Vine Street - burnished copper color - frothy, lasting head - this sucker is wonderfully dry, with a crisp bitterness, and a strong finish of toasted grains - very light belgian yeast esters and earthy character - some spiciness in the finish compliments the toasty qualities - light, crisp, refreshing - quite nice.

Draught at Mountain Sun. Orange in color, thin creamy white head. Aroma of yeast, notes of citrus. The first thing I notice was a very soft, easy palate. Drinkable and refreshing. The name fits the beer; subtle but very enjoyable.

Not really into these Belgian ipas. This was good, but nothing special. Tons of better brews here.
