2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
some floral aroma; nice looking pour - honey unfiltered golden color. not much up front with taste - then a mildly bitter slightly dry finish - needs some more flavor to stand out...
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Part of the "IPA of the month" selection I received. Pours very cloudy orange, hardly any head. light/sweet aroma. fruity, floral taste, mild hops with bitter backbone. decent IPA, not the best, but definately not the worst, would drink this again
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours clear golden with white head, lighter aroma of citrus and herbal spice. The taste is similar, lighter and a little crisp with a simple hop bitter that lingers with a slightly medicinal taste. This is a solid basic ipa, I think the lower scores for this beer are helped too by the way Breckenridge markets a standard ipa try to come across as their great accomplishment. It is good but not terribly unique or flashy, or great.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 5/20
I love IPAs, and this one was good but not great. It was pretty average straight down the line.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Poured into a snifter.
3.5 A: Opaque orange amber color. Less than one finger of frothy beige head that fell quickly, but did leave a short ring of lacing.
3.5 S: Floral and citrusy hops, but no flavors in particular stand out. Caramel malts with a heavy breadiness that is enhanced by the yeast.
3.0 T: Light herbal and citrus hop flavor. A bit soapy. The yeastiness and breadiness are strong and block out most of the other flavors. Moderate bitterness.
3.5 M: Medium body. Good moderate carbonation. A bit chewy.
2.5 D: I’m not a huge fan of bready IPAs and this is full of it. Additionally, the hops don’t really do a lot for this. Lucky me? I think not.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a rather cloudy, golden-yellow, with thin head. Citrus/floral aroma and flavor, with a rather unpleasant, bitter hop finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. Pours hazy orange with a 2 finger white head. Not much hops with the nose, a bit flowery and sweet. Hops more noticeable in the flavor, well balanced, with a lingering finish.
1.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
muddy copper with lots of particulates and a dense beige head. medium body with medium-high carbonation.
aroma: metallic minerality, piney citrusy hops, and a bit of musty grain.
taste: first impression is like a mouthful of dirt. now getting some background malts with some sour plastic twang on top. i don’t know what else to say. it’s not the worst beer i’ve had by any means, but it is bad in a unique way.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Appearance is a small white head with hazy amber color. Aroma is a sweet full malt with hidden hops. Taste is a creamy, spicy fruitiness with a nice balance of hops and malt. Overall a solid IPA.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma is slightly hoppy. Pours a golden orange with a nice tan head. Hops aren’t overpowering but do leave some floral taste in your mouth. It’s an ok IPA. Nothing special but not terrible
