In short: An refreshing and nourishing full-bodied grapefruity IPA
How: Bottle, 12oz, consumed fresh.
The look: Clear blonde body with a long-lasting medium rocky white head
In long: Body is well malted and pillowy. Interestingly the malt profile here does not have much toastiness, caramel or honey. Instead I was treated with a big raw cereals mash sensation. Quite doughy actually. Lots of fruity hops with focus on the lighter more refreshing fruits like grapefruits and peaches. Medium juicy bitterness. The light tartness is totally appropriate. This is a full and highly drinkable. Another solid brew from Colorado. And to think this state is full of cattle ranch with cows eating cereals that could otherwise be used to make more kick-ass brews. I say let’s make some leather jackets and more beer.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle… Clear golden ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Big time grapefruit notes rest upon an undercurrent of pine, caramel and toffee. Light to medium-bodied with a mildly creamy mouthfeel and sluggish carbonation. Well-balanced. Citrusy, earthy hop flavors. Lightly tart. Modestly bitter, drying finish.

Pours copper with a short-lived, foamy white head. Nose is full of herbal hop, some grapefruit and slight pine as well. Flavor is consistent here, loads of hop and floral outweighing the slight malts. This is really good beer for straightforward, delicious hop juice.
