COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This seasonal beer is brewed in the Do It Yourself (DIY) spirit along with our friends from Bayfield at the Venture Snowboard Factory. An India Pale Ale, the Euphoria is crafted with piles and piles of Golding hops to provide a unique spicy finish. Great for after hitting the slopes.

Anarchic enlightenment: (1) Brewed in strict accordance to D.I.Y. methodology, the beer of choice for epic powder days. (2) brewed and bottled by ska brewing company, durango colorado using the finest hops, yeast, malted barley and san juan waters.

fidelis83 (1589) - Clinton, Iowa, USA - APR 12, 2013
Light copper pour with a 1 finger, creamy eggshell head. Aroma of pine, caramel, citrus and a little raw sugar. Flavor is caramel, planty hops, raw sugar, pine, earthy hops and citrus hops. Lightish body with a fairly dry, slightly acidic feel troughout and light, but sharp carbonation. Decent.

12 oz can. Copper colored and clear with a light tan head and sticky lacing. Herbal spiced hoppy aroma, with caramel malts. Medium body with a soft creamy feel and nice carbonation. Nicely hopped, bitter and dry with light malt sweetness. Pretty smooth and tasty!

kryon (702) - SWEDEN - FEB 15, 2013
Pours clear amber with low to medium off white head Caramelly malt aromas, tropical fruits, Fruity taste, bit too weak in both body and bitterness. Agree with the spicy finish. Medium sweet. Overall nice.

Can in Durango. This is a flimsy little beer that is fine when served ice cold after a long day. Otherwise pass on it.

DuffMan (5198) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 30, 2013
Can. Burnt orange colour, one finger thick lightly golden head. Aroma is toasty caramel malt with a bit of cooked peaches. Sweet malty palate, a little stonefruit, with a wash of bitterness that cuts through the finish, with a slight medicinal quality. Tasty.

Kinz (2971) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - JAN 25, 2013
Beer 29 Asheville trip, Thirsty Monk tap. Medium orange appearance. Aroma and flavor matched - caramel malts with a spicy, earthy hop character. Sort of a run of the mill APA. But not bad.

Pretty good APA/IPA. More on the caramel and malty side but with a distinct kick from the hops. I was pleasantly surprised.

TomDecapolis (4223) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - JAN 16, 2013
Pours a lightly hazy golden copper with a medium creamy/bubbly off white head that laced. Aroma of tea, light citrus notes, floral hops and a touch of sweet maltiness. Flavor of tea, grapefruit, light caramel and biscuit malt. Really well done pale ale. Love that it’s in a can and I can get it on a regular basis in Kansas!

maxwelldeux (2227) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - JAN 10, 2013
Can. Pours a very clear amber color with a very thin head. Nose is very hoppy with some great floral notes. Taste is just a tad bitter, but smooth and light. Interesting brew...
