12 oz can from Wilburs. Light amber color with a nice light tan head and patchy lacing. Citrus hop aroma with caramel, bread and spices. Medium body with a crispy dry feel. Peppery toasted malt flavor with bitter hops. It was OK.

Pours a very light copper with thin head. Mild citrus hops with some hints of herbs/spices: coriander? Reasonably balanced, though uninspired taste. Bit too lively on the carbonation side. It does end with a slight peppery finish, but that vanishes as you continue to drink the beer.

Tried this on tap at Yard House in Lone Tree, Colorado. Not really picking up much in the aroma. Taste is a blah pale ale, mild hops, nothing special. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

arrogantb (1398) - Denver, Colorado, USA - NOV 3, 2012
12oz can from the Wynkoop. Nice looking beer, almost looks like SNPA. It smells lackluster so there you go. Just not anything special. The taste was interesting until it faded into a buttery morass. Yuck. I would most likely never buy this beer again. Serving type: can Reviewed on: 07-16-2010 04:53:50

On tap at brewpub. Just your average apa. Mild sweetness/maltiness. Mild hop bitterness. Zzzzzz.

kevinator (321) - The Colony, Texas, USA - OCT 14, 2012
A very safe APA. Slight malty and hops aroma. Medium carbonated palate that was a little watery. Low malt sweetness and small hop aftertaste. Better than a standard bar beer and probably a staple for this brewery, just not very exciting. Easy to drink with a burger.

Draught at Wynkoop as part of a flight, visited on October 7, 2012
Hazy amber color, off-white head. Malty, sweet taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium high bitterness. Some hints of chili in the aftertaste. Malty, sweet, caramel scent.

Terminus (2891) - Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA - SEP 24, 2012
Can-purchased at a King Suppers in Denver, CO September 2012-pours bright orange hue with a small soapy eggshell head. nose is lots of carmel malts, toasted bready notes, lite pine and lite spice. flavors exhibit very dry earthy hop notes, spice, lite pine, toasted grains and faint herbal character. Wow, this is actually alot better than i was expecting. Body is crisp, clean and refreshing. A pretty well done pale ale here, much better than i was expecting. The best beer i have had from this place for sure!
