6 pack for around $11 @ ale yeah. Poured into a an AleYeah 1 year anniversary pint glass. 1/29/12 date stamped on bottle. Reviewed 3/3/12

a- a light amberish-golden orange, with lots of little bubbles rising to the top, and a 1/4" of fluffy off-white head with large bubbles on top. velvety lacing. great looking beer.

s- incredible. smells strongly of hops, avocado, ripe fruit, piney and a little sweet

t- lots of juicy, sticky hops, more orangey than lemon citrus, slightly sweet and very refreshing, sharp towards the end. there's a nice banana bread/caramel malt taste.

m- great carbonation, with thin to medium body, leaves you with a little bit of that cotton mouth and lingering hops on the tongue.

o- awesome beer and great prize for what i get, which is a great IPA. Reviewed and tasted one month after bottling date, and tastes fresh as hell. i love great divide.

A: Pours a translucent gold with one and a half fingers of slightly off-white head. The foam fades fairly quickly leaving a ton of residue along the edges of the glass. Decent lacing as it drinks.

S: The nose is sweet with caramel malts, a good pine presence, and just a dash of orange citrus. It smells inviting.

T: It starts out with a sweet malty backbone upon the first second. The pine hops come on second with a touch of juicy orange. As the beer progresses along, I get a small floral component and a taste of fresh cut grass. The finish is sticky with bitter biting pine, some alcohol, and some malt.

M: Medium bodied beer. It's sweet and coating to start, flavorful and well balanced in the middle, and finishes sticky with bitters and malt.

O: Good beer. Not something I'd buy all the time, considering how many better IPAs are out there, but it's good. I'd drink it out at a bar if the tap list didn't have any better options.

Grapefruit juice and honeydew melon with lighter hints of tangerine zest and florals. Honey like malts with hints of caramel. Finishes with light notes of pine sap.

Not as hoppy as I'd like, but still a very tasty brew. Overpowering malt presence, which isn't bad, but when drinking alongside a Cali IPA, it really stands out. A strong looking beer that left impressive lacing long after the beer was gone. I look forward to the aroma of a good IPA, but this one is lacking. I like this beer and would have again (likely in the late Fall or Winter), but overall it doesn't scream great IPA. This feels like kick ass Pale Ale to me!

This was the first beer I ever reviewed and my first time trying an offering from Great Divide. I enjoyed this at some random Marriott hotel bar on the city limits of Denver. It's a very good IPA, but maybe a touch overrated. Strong and floral hops smell and taste. Slight touch of citrus. One of the best things about this beer is its appearance, the dark golden color and perfect head can definitely cause some vertical displacement. Checks all the boxes of what you'd want in a good IPA, but there's nothing all that special here.
