Commercial Description:
A classic English Pale Ale dominated by pleasant hop bitterness and aroma. Dry hops impart unique aromas and flavors that add to the complexity of this ale. Our Pick Axe uses a blend of hopping: British Columbia Bramling, Czech Saaz, and British East Kent Goldings which melds into an award winning flavor. 1997 & 2000 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner

Light hop aroma. Cloudy orange color with a large white head. Bitter taste fading in the finish. Light palate.

This is definitely one of the better pale ale’s that I’ve tasted in a long time. This poured a light copper color with a generous off-white head. It left a nice amount of lacing around the side of the glass, as well. The aroma was of rich malt with notes of flowerly hops. The body was fairly full with beautiful notes of bitter hops, bread and a touch of barely. The finish was slightly dry with a generous touch of hoppiness and citrus flavors. This was a truley oustanding pale ale!

Fair nose and color, with some hops flavors, but there was an off taste that lowered the rating.

from 12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy orange color. Aroma is hoppy - citrus is evident. The taste is definitely hoppy. Almost perfect amount of hops. Very dry clean finish. A great beer but I would classify it as an IPA or APA.

On tap at the brewery. A better than average example of a pale, from an American brewer. Clean with an average body, Highly recommended on a May afternoon in Idaho Springs!
