Draft at brewery: Slightly cloudy; apricot hue. Great texture. Rich malts have notes of powdered cocoa, sweet caramel, and toasty toffee. Grassy, earthy hops complement the malts wonderfully. Some lesser notes of fruit -dried apricots and sweet oranges. Surprisingly good APA.

Growler poured a clear golden amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, earthiness and light spice. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, earthiness and lighjt spice with a crisp dry moderatly bitter lingering earthy finish. This is more of an English Pale in my opinion.

Tap at brewery. Pours a light copper appearance with a light colored head. Light hoppy aroma. Kind of a piney hoppy flavor with pale to amber malty body.

clear copper. medium level hop aromatics, meium caramel malt, mild yeast phenols. medium light body, mild chewiness. plane jane hop flavor with medium- bitterness for the style. forgettable.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a mostly clear, orange-golden body with a thick, creamy and frothy, finger-width, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is flowery, bright citrus and a lightly sweetened caramel. Flavor is solid. Enough caramels to balance a good amount of floral and piney, citrus hops. Finishes dry and crisp with a medium earthy bitterness and aftertaste with a light to medium, smooth, easy drinking body. Overall, a solid and flavorful pale ale. Good beer after a day on the slops.

draft at brewery. funny, well not really, that we stopped here after a powder day at Beaver Creek. copper/straw collow. lacing. oily floral hops aroma. earthy bitterness. fresh hops. good balance.

Draft Brewery-An amber body with a decent head which has an aroma of citrus and hops. Taste of hops and more hops with a citrusy back end.

on tap-pours a creamy white head with a gold color. Aroma is crisp citrus hops. Taste is crisp citrus hops, secondary medium malt. Nice, clean mouth feel. (Recently revised recipe increased hops, per brewer-Jeremy). Good effervescence.

Draught. Pours coppery sunset with a small patchy off-white head and spotty lacing. Aroma is hoppy grass and pine, caramel malt (meal). Hoppy start, grassy and malty flavor, nutty, moderate acidity, mild bitterness, grapefruit hop finish. Medium bodied, fizzy and spicy palate.

After a beer sampler on Valentines Day, this was our beer of choice for the eve. The hop bitterness/aroma is quite nice. Could have used a little more malt for my tastes. Not quite an IPA, but a pretty strong APA.
