3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap @ Copper Kettle. Pours a bit hazy reddish orange appearance with an off white head. Kind of smells like an English Pale, strangely enough. Chewy ale yeasty, tangerine citrusy, somewhat herbal aroma. Earthy, herbal hoppy, a touch buttery, light caramel, toasty malty flavor. Kind of interesting.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at CK - medium amber with a thick, sticky lace - nose is of pungent pine and citrus, some earthy character, grass - flavor is dry and Biscuity up front, with moderate citrus peel - gets some sweeter notes of caramel through the middle, but dries out again on the tail end, bringing copious earthy pine, peppery spice and bitterness - dry, biscuit finish - probably the best hoppy beer this brewer has made.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy bronze/copper with a laceful foamy white head. Fresh hoppy aroma of leafy wet hops, grapefruit zest, a slight piney resin tone, and caramalty sweetness. Flavor was big on bitterness but not in a too-sharp way like west coast IPAs. Lots of piney and floral and grapefruit-peel bitterness and flavor with a mild caramel backbone and subtle earthy blonde graininess. Lasting bitterness throughout. A little much, but not shabby.

On tap at the brewery, fantastic beer. Super strong aroma, just good a very good overall beer. Piney
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On Tap at Denver Winter Brew Fest ’13. Pour is clear orange with a small off-white head and decent lacing. Citrus, grapefruit, light grass, a touch of pine, lemon peel, and bread in the aroma. Taste is grapefruit peel, orange, grass, caramel, a touch of biscuit and pine on the backend with a medium bitter finish. Medium mouthfeel with high carbonation. Decent IPA.
