In a pint glass this beer was a gold color with a small white head.
Aroma very timid. Faint notes of sweet malt, citrus, and flowers.
The taste was a little bit better than what the aroma promised. Sweet biscuit, pine, and some grapefruit. Still a bit on the meek side.
Medium-bodied, balanced.
There's a lot of better APAs out there.

I like the appearance, you get a good vibrant gold and orange mixture of color with a head that chills around a half an inch. Hops can be sometimes there and sometimes completely devoid of them replete with stale old oxidized cardboard vibe. Can/bottle dating? Can't find it. Not my fault.
Taste has bitterness, but there is nothing descriptive going on malt or hop wise beyond that really, generic two row toasting, pale malt I guess. The alcohol is noticeable, which isn't a good thing if you're below 6% abv.
I've had some good stuff from Boulder, but I find a lot of the times you're in for an unpredicable inconsistent journey.
