on tap-no noticeable head, pale yellow color. Taste is grain with light to mild carbonation.

Bottle at the Wapiti in Estes Park, CO. Pours dark hazy gold with a whiteish head. flavor is mildly bready with some citrus like hop. Drinkable- light in flavor, though not in body.

When I opened this one, some head caming gushing out of the bottle (although not a full blown gusher). Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a larger sized head. Aromas of yeast, lemon pledge, and some malts. Tastes of lemons, light honey and citrus. Thin and watery body.

Pours a transparent light bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Mild aroma of sweet pale malt and some a hint of floral hops. Body starts with some light sweetness and earthy, bitter, hops, toward a bland, watery finish. Needs more body and fresh balance.

Bottle. Pours amber with a slight copper tone in the light and very tiny foamy white head. Aroma is a mixture of caramel and sour malt with a fruit hop background, maybe citrus floating in as well. Sweet caramel malt and citrus hop flavor that ends a little spicy. Crisp medium bodied palate.

Bottle poured a clear amber with a minamal white head. Biscuity aroma. Light carmel flavor not much else though. This is my least favorite Estes Park beer so far.

Light amber pour. Caramel, corn, pale hops. Flavor is grainy, light hops, rather typical and boring.
