COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
On January 15, 1939 one of the oldest ski resorts in the United States opened. Alta, best known for the it’s low moisture powder and high volumes of annual snowfall has been home to generations of local skiers and a popular destination for powder buffs world wide. To help celebrate Alta’s diamond Jubilee the Utah Brewers Cooperative has created a brand new beer to honor one of Utah’s favorite winter playgrounds. The Alta 75 is a dry-hopped pale ale that delivers a piney, floral and citrus nose with a taste that has a moderate malty base with a big citrusy piny punch.

Bottle to snifter (shared with he Mrs.; thanks douglas88). Looks solid; a semi-transparent burnt-orange with thin off-white lacing. Smells of bitter hops and sweet malt. Tastes like it smells, but not as potent, with an average mouthfeel. A decent APA.

This poured a lighter orange color with a beige head. Aroma was grassy and citrusy hops, light grain notes too, Flavor was much the same,a somewhat bland apa, but nothing offensive
