From my friends in Colorado. Pours a slightly murky, dark, burnt orange brown. Smells malty and sweet, and bready but not getting too much hops on the nose. Taste is roasted malt, but not sweet, bitterness emerging mid-taste. Balance is solid, and mouth-feel is substantial, carbonation moderately big. A solid IPA, a little more on the heavier, but not sweet roasted malt side.

12 ounce bottle -> Samuel Adams Perfect Pint Glass

This beer pours a hazy medium gold with a one finger off white head, not much retention, and not much lacing. Nose is mostly floral. Taste is very hop forward with the malt kind of buried in the mix. No matter. I sort of like the hop bombs. Mouthfeel is abour average, not thick, not thin, with a normal amount of carbonation. Overall I dig this beer.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Appearance is a clear deep gold with a rim of white head and some lacing. The nose has a deep earthy hop aroma with a bit of resinous pine paired with caramel malt and bready grains. Taste is light on bitterness but full of hop flavor. Sweet fruity notes of apple and lemon with mild bitterness to finish. Light mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Overall, decent but no depth.

Serving type: on-tap
