COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
FRESH HOP IPA - A true hop escapade! To make this beer we took a road trip to Palisade, hand picked 30 lbs of organic Chinook hops, tried our hand at the Hopfenpfluckmaschine, and dreamed up the rest of the brew over beers and a campfire under the stars on the Western Slope. This beer has a huge fresh herb and citrus aroma with a hint of wild flower honey and a dash of adventure.

Hazy light amber - love me some fresh hop beer - they approached is one right - provide a lean, moderately sweet, clean malt base and let those hops shine - that is what happens here - hops are green and potent, peppery throughout - downright spicy in the finish - malts are a touch sweet, but become crisp and crackery in the finish, which compliments the spiciness well - nicely done, but crazy spicy - you have to love hops.

Tap @ brewery. Clear golden appearance with a white head. Potent floral, piney hoppy, slightly resiny nose. Fresh, potent floral, piney-resiny flavor with a lingering hoppy bitterness. Not bad.

onceblind (1622) - Denver, Colorado, USA - SEP 11, 2011
On tap during Denver Brew at the Zoo 2011. Hazy bright gold with a nose of fresh wet hops and light sweet maltiness. Taste is light on the bitterness but big on grassy hop flavor. Pretty mild toffee sweetness with a bitter ending. Interesting but not necessarily delightful to drink.
