COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The citrus punch of a big IPA, minus the one-dimensional hop sledgehammer. Seven select European and domestic malts round out the edges for a complex, copper-colored brew. Like its namesake ski lift, it’s an insider’s ride to fresh thrills.

COMRADEJOSH (162) - Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri, USA - MAY 10, 2013
Wonderful fruit aroma and taste that combines with the sweet malt in this amber pale ale. It goes well with the mild hops that combine into this wonderful seasonal. I could just sit and drink this all day.

tcane7 (807) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 10, 2013
Bottle. Pours a red copper with soapy beige head and sea foam lace. Nose of sweet caramel, citrus, some pine. Mild hop bitterness, sweet malts up front with a lightly bitter hop finish. Good beer, very malty for a pale ale. More like a hoppy red ale but good none the less.

coreyc1221 (58) - USA - MAY 9, 2013
Sweet aroma with a peach or hibiscus hint. Golden red color. White head that quickly vanished. Tastes very floral and kinda piney with a bitter after taste. Tangy a bit too. Deschutes kills it.

On nitro this beer was awesome. It has some spicy and hoppy aromas like an IPA. The body was smooth, thick and creamy. The taste was more malty than the nose suggested but overall still very balanced.
