[Colorado Road Trip – 2006] This was a light colored straw yellow with a hint of hops in the nose. This was a grain build of rice and very little good malts. The hops did not exist and I felt I was drinking a bad lite beer. They need to get a new contract brewer.

On tap, at Grogg’s in Helper/Price. Pours a medium amber color with a white head. Decent head retention with a mild hop aroma. Not much of a sharp attack, but a smooth drinking ale with a semi-sweet finish and a mild aftertaste. A decent Utah microbrew.

On tap at the brewpub in Utah. Pours a clear amber with a white head. The aroma and taste were similar; a sweet and smooth malt, some very light hops, no bitterness, and overall, like a weak amber ale. Drinkable for sure. Just not a stand out beer.

Copper and clear. Lots of fizzy white lacing... flavor is grainy and mineraly... fizzy palate, light flavors of grain and gravel. Nose is a putrid weed/compost/vegetable concoction... not to be too harsh, but this is one of the worst beers I’ve ever tasted.

Yellow-orange, thin head, and a peachy aroma. Sweet flavor for a pale. Very smooth. Eh ...
