Rocky Mountain IPA - Fort Collins Brewing

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 4

Appearance is a red/orange with a 1-finger head that retains a nice covering for most of the duration. Nice lookin' brew.

Aroma is citrus, pine, earthy hops. Nothing outstanding, but in line for the style.

Flavor is more of the same, but toned down a touch.

Mouthfeel is quite lively and carbonated. Quite smooth, but a bit hot going down. Personally I would prefer a little less carbonation, but its not bad by any means.

Drinkability is quite good. I'm enjoying this solid IPA, I would drink another if I had one in the fridge (single 12oz bottle trial run here).

While this certainly isn't a top tier IPA, it is still quite good in its own right. Distribution is relatively limited, so if you see one, give it a shot.

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
