On tap at the Inaugural Boulder IPA Fest. Centennial and Cascade version. Pour is hazy golden in appearance with a white head and great lacing. Grapefruit, orange peel, bread, caramel, and spice in the aroma. Taste is malt-forward; bready, caramel, light grass, and citrus. Doesn’t taste super fresh, but still isn’t bad. Medium body with high carbonation. OK.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Golden pour with small head, though tons o lacing. Piney aroma and flavor is similar. Not super hoppy but solid bite. Great drinking brew.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Taster at Avery. Pours a golden with a white head. Citrus hop nose. Med body with a big citrus and dank earthy hop presence followed by light malt baking. Lasting citrus bitter finish with orange peel notes.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours hazy orange with white head on tap at Avery. Aroma has notes of big juicy fruit (not the gum) with grapefruit, orange, tangerine, going into bitter pine and grass, some slight biscuit and caramel notes balancing fairly well, big bitter, dry, full bodied finish. Tasty stuff, how I think the regular IPA should be brewed and bottled, the unfiltered adds body and hop character.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours deep amber with white head. Nose rich with bitter hops. Medium in the mouth with notable wet and grassy hop notes to start, moving into a tangy, bitter hop with resiny finish. Nice hop explosion added to the typical delicious IPA.
