22oz bomber-An amber body with a decent head and an aroma of nothing but maybe a little malt. Taste of the same. I was expecting more from the pretty cool label but I gues you can’t judge a beer from its label.

Had this beer on 9/29/1998. Color is hazy and gold, with good carbonation and very low head. Aroma is light with a hint of malt, but has a bit of a wine like smell to it. Taste is flat and empty. It starts with a light body that goes down easy, because there’s not much there. The finish has a slight bitterness but not much and no hop flavor at all, there is also no hop aroma. This may be the worst Pale Ale I have had, the body lacks malt flavor or any flavor at all, there is no hop flavor, bitterness, or aroma.

Fort Collins Brew Fest 2004 - This was probably my favorite beer of the fest. Copper/amber colored. Agressively hopped with a strong citrus zing - mostly grapefruit. I’d easilly classify this as an IPA.

Fort Collins Brew Fest 2003: Had a fair amount of carbonation. Wasn't very hazy for an unfiltered wheat beer. A little disappointing. Also, fairly dark for a wheat beer. Refreshing and above average.
