I really like this beer. I've heard the Great Divide name for a while but had yet to try any of their beers. This is a really nice, simple APA. Sweet caramel malts with a floral hop essence. Reminds me of Troeg's Pale Ale or maybe even a west coast like Red Seal. This is a really easy drinking brew and one I think others (non-BA's would really enjoy as well). I'm starting to home brew and if I could have something akin to this in my recipe book (and on tap) as a regular I'd be really happy and content. Very solid offering and one that makes me want to try the rest of Great Divide's lineup.

How I've managed to not have this is a bit surprising. I have to say, I really enjoyed it, too! I prefer an IPA, but this was a nice change of pace. This tasted great at a BBQ and the next time I'm out to eat, I may go here again, depending on what IPA's are available. A very nice surprise and a beer that I would recommend to my friends seeking a solid pale.

A: Pours a dark golden color with half finger head that settles quickly

S: bready Malts and a nutty aroma. I'm also getting a little cinnamon spice at the end

T: dominate malt flavor. Vet slight nutty presence with minimal hops to follow.

M: good carbonation, a little thicker then I expected. There's a nice sticky feel from the hops at the end.

O: this was a nice change for a pale ale. It has a good malty flavor and the oil from the hops give a nice mouthfeel but could have hit more flavor points
