3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a hazy orangish-copper from the can with a thin off-white lace of a head and light lacing. Aroma of pale malt and slight pine hop. Taste follows, really bready and malty. Decent but a lot better APAs out there.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Can. Amber orange pour with a small head. Some tropical fruit, but very astringent and unbalanced. Not very good.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Gold pour with a nose of tropical fruits, papaya, mango and pineapple. Nice bitter taste with a little earthiness to the fruit taste. Long bitter finish.

I had this from a can while visiting Steamboat. The first can was warmer as it was unchilled on my walk home, it had a nice aroma of hops. The second can I’m having now is cooler and loses lots of the aroma. The bitterness seems a bit unbalanced and lingers on the tongue. This is an okay beer but I think it needs more malt body to balance it.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Brown bodied and a light tan head. Dark notes, nutty, croissant, classic hops. Moderate bitterness although it drinks easily. Not the best looking, best smelling or best tasting but a solid brew overall, well balanced. (12oz can on Florida trip)
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can. Pours amber, no head. Heavy on the malt and light on hops. I could only slightly detect citrus notes. Not much of a finish. Not bad, but not good.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
2012 Twin Cities Beer Festival. Brown. Decent hop aroma and citrus hop flavor with some malt, but hops are up front. Somewhat astringent. Much better than the IPA.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Can. Pours a cloudy copper with medium frothy white head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a floral hop and pine. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet hop and grapefruit and lingerig dry finish. A good APA from Crazy Mountain.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled in a can. A nice brew. Decent hop levels. Worth a try and priced nicely to enjoy.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pour out of 12 oz can, clear orange pour with white head, aroma has notes of pine, grass, earth, some slight floral and spicy notes, buttery, caramel notes, with a hint of grain and husky vanilla notes. Taste is a mix of caramel, toffee, sour grain, some slight buttery notes but not in a bad way, vanilla, some spice, grass and lots of honey, floral notes, finishing fairly spicy, sweet. Interesting for sure.
