Big thanks to ucusty for this extra.

Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy off white head that fades quickly to some lacing and spotting.

Smells like cascade hops all over. Tangerine and lemon citrus. Grassy and herbal.

Tastes are pine and sticky grass. Sweet caramel malt with a bitter dry finish.

Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation.

Overall is good and very drinkable. I am liking some Foothills right about now.

Pours a HUGE, dense, resiny head that laces nicely. Bright, pine hop aroma. Nice, amber-straw color. Starts off quite bitter with notes of piney grapefruit, and a slightly citric nature. Builds into a hop resin bitterness that is low-high. In the finish, the hops subside into a nice citric nature where a touch of sweet malt shines through.

I like this one. It is quite hoppy and bitter, but it's not overwhelmingly or unpleasantly bitter. It's just bitter enough to be pleasing and satisfying. A very, very nice IPA.

This was my first sampling of Foothills Brewery. I was not disappointed. The color was bright copper. The smell had a wonderful amount of hoppiness. The taste had an excellent balance of strong hoppy bitterness, orange peal, with a bit of coriander. The carbonation was spot on by making this brew highly drinkable.

Poured from a 22oz bomber into a Central Waters Snifter. Thanks to Bulbman for the hookup, my first offering from Foothills.

A: Pours a hazy copper/amber/gold color. Relatively aggressive pour leads to a 1.5 finger frothy white had that fades slowly and leaves a good amount of sticky lacing.

S: Solid grapefruit notes hit the nose first and foremost followed by slight resin and a well balanced malty back end that ties the beer together.

T: Nice slightly bittersweet flavors of grapefruit/tart tangerine rhine hits first and is followed by the sharp bit of the piney hop undertones. Again, nice malt profile balances this beer and ties it together nicely.

M: Sharp finish, perfectly carbonated. Hop oils leave a slight mouth coating.

O: I had a hard time not pounding this beer. It has a very nice flavor and was extraordinarily easy to drink.
