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.

Pours a nice orangish-brown. No head, really. Aromas of pine, citrus and apricot. A little sweetness from the malt too. Nice mellow hop profile upfront. Slight bitterness with a smooth malty flavor. Mouthfeel is sticky and a little oily but not too bad. Overall pretty decent. Especially from a can.

Amber, clear, good head and good carbonation. A nice balance of earthy malt with enough pine hops taste so you know it’s there. The palate/feel is a little thin - a nice change from all these imperial styles that are popular this winter.

Bottle. Copper color. malty nose. Tastes like pine, resin, nuts. Lively, nice long finish. It’s very good. I’m pleasantly surprised, a very tasty brew. Yum

HighWine (397) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 4, 2012
Can poured in an imperial pint. Beautiful dark amber color with a dense bright white head that thins but only to 1/2 inch. Excellent lacing. Sugar pine aroma. Nicely balanced pale ale with flavors of biscuit, apricot nectar, and a little boost of resin. Hop bitterness lingers on the palate. Very quaffable.

Poured amber with a 2 finger head, the aroma was citrus and piney hops. The flavor was a nice blend of hops and caramel malts. This was a a decent APA, would drink it again.

jhamp9 (165) - Texas, USA - JAN 4, 2012
Poured a dark copper with a nice creamy head that left a ton of lacing. Aroma was grass and pine but also had a very odd plastic smell. Taste was spicy and malty with strong hop bitterness at the finish.
