Commercial Description:
Named for the 54 Colorado peaks which tower over 14,000 feet in elevation, our session beer is a spectacular copper hued beauty. The treatment of our water to simulate English hard water and the blending of several specialty malts and hops produce a delicate balance between aromatic maltiness and herbal hops.
OG: 1.048
IBU's: 37

Pours a clear, light golden hue from the 12oz. bottle: Aroma of florals, yeast, and bitter hops. Compared to the aroma, the flavors (malts, grain, citrus, maybe grassy) are a bit one-dimensional and light. Driankbility: Thin and quite unimpressive. Rebuy: Willing to rerate. #173 on 29102009, DG.

Pours a beautiful copper color. Aroma of floral hops. Taste has the initial bitterness of hops with a nicely balanced malty finish. Good.

Draught from Avery tap room. Yellow thin white head. Aroma of light hops a little citrusy. Also light malts in flavor balance. Pretty hoppy and floral. finish is short but leaves mouth wet.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, not quite copper, but orange-gold-bronze colored body with a finger-width, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a veil of creamy foam on the surface and glass. Good looking beer. Aroma is paler, bready caramels with a good amount of citrusy hops. Grapefruit-honey and a light, herbal spice. Flavor is lightly hopped with a nice, herbal fruity bitterness. A somewhat flowery honey sweetness accompanies the pale, slightly bready caramels. The fruity, bready, hop bite grows slightly into a dry finish, where it lingers for a good amount of time. Body is light to medium and very smooth. Overall, a nice ESB. The malts are light, but the hops fit this really nicely. They’re clearly present, but never grow out of hand and stay well balanced throughout. Great body and extremely drinkable. Solid.

12 oz. bottle which came in a variety pack. A mild hops taste prevails while drinking, bur doesn’t linger too long. Overall, pretty smooth, but nothing that really jumps out to make it out of the ordinary.

Hazy pale orange with a white head and good lacing. Aroma is mostly hops as is the taste. The light body finishes dry and bitter.

On tap at Caliente. Pretty decent session beer. Nicely balanced between malts & hops, definately nothing over the top. Not my style, but easily drinkable.
