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

Fairly unimpressive. Decent floral nose with the malt buried deep in the background. Body is thin and lacks any developed malt characteristic beyond caramel and light toffee. Below average hop flavor, but finishes fairly bitter and dry. Caramel colored with minimal head.

i know this is going to sound gross, but this beer was so bitter it smelled of perspiration...but not in a bad way, whatever that means

A bit bitter, but could’ve been cleaner complected in the flavor department. A bit tinny, but not an awfull ale. Maybe I have been expecting a bit more from this micro, but still came away disappointed. I like bitters, but this one was not to my tastes.

Good bitters, with enough malt balance to keep it interesting. Nice floral aroma.

A tasty and finely made bitter. Had a very interesting finish, somewhat ’zingy,’ for lack of a better term. I’ll need to try another one.
