In 1996, he returned with Lakeside Productions to film the six-hour mini-series of "The Shining" for ABC television. While a body in the tub of 217 is not guaranteed, the historic Stanley Hotel is an unforgettable experience. Brewed and bottled for The Stanley Hotel by Estes Park Brewery, Estes Park, Colorado.

AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

Tessic (631) - Brantford, Ontario, CANADA - APR 22, 2012

This pale ale poured a clear amber colour with a white, quickly dissipating head. To the nose there are scents of hops, corn, metal and grassy hops. First taste was slightly watery with flavours of corn, spice?, grassy hops and bread? Finish was lighgtly hoppy with corn and hop lingering. Better than I thought it would be.

drjay44 (1735) - Salida, Colorado, USA - SEP 20, 2011

Draft at the brewery. This was a "wet hopped" version per the signs in the brewery. Pours a thin short lived white head, over a slightly hazy gold (SRM 5) body....nose is light pine, citrus, light toffee/caramel....taste is pine, citrus, toffee/caramel, with a light honey floral tone...mouth feel on the light of medium, carbonation high. This is a fairly typical Pale Ale, although a bit light in both the hop and malt back bones. BJCP 7/3/12/4/6

Dark amber with an off white head. Aroma of grapefruit and pale malt. Flavor is malty with some citrus flavor. Medium-light body with very soft carbonation.

GJF (1007) - Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA - AUG 27, 2010

On tap at the brewery. A nice creaminess to it, but it’s generally lacking. Not a lot to it really.

KAggie97 (3285) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - AUG 9, 2010

Bottle from Rocky Mountain Liquors, Estes Park, CO.
Pours an average cheddar orange with a nose of restrained hops that fade into sour bread and toast. Flavor is low-brow hops and grapefruit that melt into a soapy finish. Average mouthfeel. Stay in another hotel.
