Commercial Description:
Our copper colored American-Style India Pale Ale is brewed with European Pale Ale, Vienna, CarAmber, & Munich Malts. Massive quantities of US grown Amarillo hops give this special beer its unique hoppy flavor. One sip and you’ll think you’re in the middle of a Hopyard! A wonderful match with our steaks, and spicier foods.

Beer pours attractive medium golden with a well retained head. Aroma is hoppy, but restrained. Flavor is hoppy, but weak. Not a great IPA.

Tap. Soft white head, golden brown body. Malty, minerally aroma. Palate is sweet and overly fruity. Bitter finish, short. Off bitterness.

tap at Falling rock Tap house along with Aubery and Crosling-pours a nice orange hue with fluffy white head. big citric aroma-the flavors were pineapple, green apple skins, but not much malt to back it up. This was a straight forward ipa that does not need a complex rating.

Tap: Hazed golden hue with a frothy head and okay lace. The aroma is mellow hops with a piney character, some malt notes, and a twist of citrus (lime and lemon). The taste is surprisingly subdued, more akin to that of an APA than IPA. Good balance of hops of malt with a twangy kick. The finish is indeed bitter and dry, so it is an IPA afterall. The feel is well fizzy, not much bite. Okay, sort of a wierd brew that lacks classification.

GABF 2004: Clear golden with a frothy white head. Fresh hoppy and mildly malty dry aroma. Body is mostly dry and bitter without much balance. Not that great of an IPA, but does go down smooth I guess.

Draft, Falling Rock Tap House, Denver, Colorado. An India Pale Ale? Ha! Perhaps this is a pale ale, if that. Light Orange. Subtle hints of hoppiness bring about notes of grapefruit, papaya and other citrus fruits in the aroma. Clean, well-balanced, but there isn’t much to balance. Lack of bitterness and flavor. Needs more hops!

Sampled @ Falling Rock, Denver. Orange color. Contains a light soapy flavor, solid bitterness, with a creamy hop nose, a light stale flavor near the finish of paper or musty rice.
