Caramel colored body, clear. Crusty caramel malt nose, noble-like hops, toasted grains, bran, etc. Dried orange rind hops, excessively bitter from the Chinook but the citrus from the Cascade is unnoticed. And Amarillo? No way.

Refreshing after a 10 hour drive to the front range. Perhaps my relief at arriving influenced and inflated my rating, but this was the perfect relaxing summer beer. Sweet with hops barely tickling the back of the tongue on the way down.

Tap at Dry Dock - clear copper - very malt-forward - crystalline sweetness - clean, pale maltiness really takes precedent over the hops, which or subdued, bland - only mild bitterness and weak hop flavor - clean, but very one dimensional - more like a malty APA - meh.

On tap at the brewpub. Hoppy aroma. Golden colour that leaves a lace sheet. Better as it warmed, and with suitable carbonation, his orangey hop was highly drinkable and a spot-on American IPA.Average mouthfeel.
