Commercial Description:
We ventured into unfamiliar territory to create an IPA to fit our style. An intense floral nose, firm balanced flavor and long hoppy finish make Rocky Mountain IPA our very own.

on tap - philadelphia - pours a dark copper, bordering on brown. Aroma is floral hops but not overpowering. Malt flavor has hints of chocolate or roasted malts - not sure as to why - but it really distracts from the body flavor. Not sure what hops they use, but they have a mildly unpleasant hop flavor. Not a favorite at all.

This looked as if it was going to be a fantastic IPA. Alas, looks can be deceiving. Pours out a darker cloudy gold color with a nice white head. aroma was hoppy with faint notes of grass and malt. Flavor was simlar.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head with excellent retention. Sweet pine aromas. Subdued balance of malt, pine and resin with a lasting hopped caramel finish.

12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a nice amber like color. Aroma is mostly hops, some grass notes, taste is hops and finish is hoppy as well, with some citrus notes. A good IPA.

Grassy aroma. Pours to brownish honey color that is slightly cloudy. Strong hops flavor. Finish is hoppy, bittery and long lasting. finish is somewhat harsh.

Taste 7/8. Bottle from total Wine...must be old. No head at all. Aroma is muted hops. There is no presence. No malt flavor. Watery and bland. There is only the spice of hop. No date on bottle. But the experience of others (the ratings)make me believe its just not the same beer. I’ll try it again.
