Commercial Description:
We let the gauge go a little high on this one. What results is Durango Derail Ale, a full strength high gravity ale with more alcohol than our other fine beers. Take notice of the beautiful golden color and hoppy aroma and heed the government warning about operating machinery (and trains!).

Pours a hazy golden bronze with a thin wispy white head. Aroma of sweet bready caramel malt and lots of piney citrusy hops. Starts sweet and caramely malty with some crisp bitter hoppy balance and a smooth, warming, bittersweet finish. NIcely balanced and very drinkable.

Poured a light orange-copper color with a thin off-white head. Sweet sugar and fruity. Mostly of dried apricot. Fruity sweetness continues into the flavor. Sweet finish..
