These guys are way up in the mountains and I love their product. Crisp and clean, this one has a near perfect head and near perfect aroma. Its flavor is subtle but has great hops and bitterness.

Good head and very good lacing with a nice golden pout. Their best offering! Nice flavor without too much overpowering in any specific area. A great flavor match with just about any food. Vacation 03

Got this one bottled, thank you Slothgar! Hazy, dark orange-brown pour, very still with only a hint of a bubbly white head, slightly sweet nose like lemon iced tea, sharp but balanced flavor with some tannins, and a bit dry. Very interesting. A good, sessionable beer.

Dark copper in color......slightly hazy. White, pillowy head. Fresh, clean aroma with subtle hop notes. Sweet hop flavor in the front......clean, smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a slight bitterness, and a very subtle hop aftertaste.

12oz bottle. Orange-tan color, certainly closer to an Amber ( as the bottle accurately describes it) than a Golden Ale. Soapy, patchy head. Relatively straightforward smooth caramel malt tones with a touch of amber underneath. Has some similarities to a Cream Ale at times with its creamy orange-vanilla aroma and flavor. Not much hop presence, which works well in this case. Not exactly world-class, but certainly smooth session Ale.

Very light in color, malt aroma. This is pretty simple but good. A balance of hops and malts, very smooth.
