Nice light malt aroma. Amber color. this is actually quite dry and with a good amount of hops, that seem to dominate over the malt, which is fine by me. One of their best.

Clear amber ale with orange body and nice foamy head. Aroma of earth and floral hops were not overpowering considering the Cascade hops used. Carbonation was too low for my taste but the caramel malts were sweet and bready. Finish dry and clean.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear orange-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes steadily. Thin rings of lacing. Caramel malt and mild hops in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of sweet malt, caramel and lightly floral hops. Touches of sweet fruit as well. The finish is malty with a lingering caramel aftertaste. Decent beer overall.

Tap at the brewpub. Murky bronze with orange edges and a slim lacing collar. Flowery, exotic hop hints in the aroma; papaya and melon...increasingly swamped with orange juice. Taste-wise, bilious orange with Southern Comfort splashes, decent cherrystone like every Boulder beer I tried, thin raspy finish with no aftertaste but bitterness. Not enough malt backbone, but OK.

Pretty good of the beers I samples at the brewery. Nice malt aroma from an amber pour with a small white head. The flavor was malty followed by a nice pine citrus taste. Finishes dry. Nice for a hot day.
