Commercial Description:
We ventured into unfamiliar territory to create an IPA to fit our style. An intense floral nose, firm balanced flavor and long hoppy finish make Rocky Mountain IPA our very own.

Bottle, very crisp and tasty....bit thin for the style but enjoyable none the less.

A decent offering from Fort Collins. Sweet hop nose and light orange body and thin white head make the beer appealing but not extraordinary. A nice, bitter hop body surprised me and made up for my friend picking this beer for me. A good IPA, though more like a great APA.

Pours a slightly hazy amber color with thin white head, not much lacing. Floral hop aroma, hint of citrus and caramel. Some sweet and pine up front with bitter hop finish. Light bodied for an IPA.

Very tasty IPA from Fort Collins. Good balance and hoppiness. Not overly spicy or bitter. Pint on draft.

12oz bottle from total wine in greenville. pours a hazy, orange-copper, with a thin white head and a ring of solid lacing. aroma is quite nice with fresh, floral hop notes, sweet pink grapefruit and orange citrus, with slight notes of creamsicle, caramel malts and pine resins. flavor is hoppy and slightly sweet initially with notes of orange citrus, grapefruit peel, and hints of apricot and floral esters backed by light, toasted caramel malts, cardboard, and leafy/earthy hops. palate is medium bodied and highly carbonated with a solid, bitter hop finish. overall, a decent IPA.

12oz bottle -> pint glass. Appearance is ruddy golden brown. Head is off-white; retention is good and laces quite well. Aroma is caramel and mild rose. Hops are evident to the nose, but not ’massive’ as the label states. Large malt presence meets the tongue with a very dry bitter finish. Mouthfeel is smooth, then gritty with a film. There is a balance between hops and malt here. Something seems amiss... This is a good session IPA, however.

12oz bottle from total wine and more in atlanta. murky dark orange pour with a finger off-white head and good retention. resiny, floral, citrus hop aroma. taste is dominated by the malts. dry pine hops comes through more as it warms. hard to describe - but I think it’s resins that are prominent throughout - if that’s what creates the dryness. bit of a chewy quality to the medium texture. tough one to rate - not what I normally go for in an ipa, but interesting.

Draught. Clear golden with medium white head. Aroma of orange peel and grapefruit, notes of light malts, very nice. Taste is predominantly of bitter grapefruit. Very clean and refreshing.
