Commercial Description:
Just like one of the best climbs at Joshua Tree, this IPA, chock full of UK Kent Golding hops, is not only beautiful to look at, but after quaffing a few pints, you'll have that same satisfaction as if you were pulling that final crux move at the end of the climb. This beer is also dry hopped with whole flower, UK Kent Golding hops.

dark yellow with a lasting head. yep, the hops are there in the nose, but more of a noble non citrusy smell, but wow, this has some sweet malt and alcohol. 6.9 abv is what i’m told, definitely smells it. o.k. the hop flavor is much more assertive than the aroma. a bit of tin is the main drawback in the flavor. a strong malt with a stronger floral and touch of citrus flavor, a nice little finisher. 4 6 6 3 14

Draught at Southern Sun in Boulder - We ordered 2 samplers and got a pitcher. Cloudy amber - white head. Soapy, bitterness, dryness, woody notes, a bit cheesy, malty, malty sweetness, a light sweetness. OK !!

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy golden coloured with a huge white head. Fruity aroma of hops with notes of grass and caramel. Fruity flavour of hops, caramel, grass and grape fruits. Dry hoppy finish.

Tap @ brewpub. Clear orange color, short head. Slight hoppy aroma, fruity, toasty. Some biscuit, quite malty taste for an IPA.

Hazy copper with off-white head. Citrus piney nose. Flavor was grassy not quite fresh hop, but had that wet flavor then faded away to a nice malty backbone. Finsih is clean and dry.
