Brewed in Fort Collins Colorado. Has a nice aroma that starts very sweet and caramely with doughy biscuit accents and hints of citrus. Also has a nice appearance that is a rich copper color and pours a smooth creamy white head. As far as taste goes, this is not my fav. It’s initial flavor is a quick flare of bitter hops immediately followed by a somewhat in your face caramely malt flavor that lingers on the pallet. This is a medium bodied beer that has a smooth rounded mouthfeel that caresses the pallet. This beer would go best with foods high in salts and starches that need a sweeter counterpart.

does not count  Nov 29, 2008 This beer just doesn’t work for me. Taste is hay, herbs, barnyard, woody and earthy. Like they are trying to force flavor into this beer. Aftertaste is of mold or rotten appeal. I am not quiet sure why people rave about this.

Nov 28, 2008 Got this off a friend of mine with connections in Denver - I’ve never seen it on the east coast. amber, hazy, with a big head after pouring that faded but left nice lacing on the glass. a nice flavor, with just a bit of a bitter aftertaste. overall not as good as i was expecting from the hype i had heard.

Nov 21, 2008 Good beer - very amder in colour and quite sweet and malty. Fairly bitter, but not a lot of hops and a tad flat.

Nov 19, 2008 This has been one I’ve been after for a while (not that its a difficult to find, but I don’t trade or venture off the east coast often), but several people have told me this would be their beer of choice for a keg party. It pours a very clear amber color with a nice white head. Malty cereal aroma with some nutty notes. Bitter roast flavor with lots of malt, balanced with a decent amount of hops to finish. Lives up to its hype. By no means an amazing or unique beer, but definitely a good session beer and something I’d have not problem sticking at an all night keg party.
