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.

Wheat, lemon, and rose hip aroma. Hazy golden color, with a thick cream colored head. Whole lemon flavor with hints of oat and grass in the end. Citrus notes untypical of an ESB, but good.

Bottle. Copper pour with a big off white head. Nice hop aroma, citrusy and spicy. Has a dry bitter flavor, not alot going on, just a clean hoppy taste. Not bad.

Pours orange amber with a small white head. Gentle aroma of malt and hops. Surprisingly little hop flavor, mostly just malt. Light for an ESB. Highly drinkable, but not much too it.

Bottle. Clear orange pour with large white frothy head. Aroma of spices and citrus with some faint hops present. Taste of mild and bitter hops. I agree with a previous reviewer that this is more like a mild American Pale than a bitter. Solid session brew.

Just tried this one on Saturday and enjoyed it. Colour is relatively clear and orange. a very sticky white head that leaves staggered lacing down the glass. an initial light malt taste followed up light hops that leaves a nice soft bitter finish. Tastey all around!

Bottle at Mondial 2008
Appearance: Clean amber ale with touch of full gold , fizzy rocky top.
Nose Solid, “full swing” hop aroma , strong west coast character noted, alpha bitter ale 7+.
Flavor/Palate : Citric hop cleanness up front. Sweet golden malt as filler. Straight forward hop oriented ale that was well made. Satisfying . solid bitter.
