Golden yellow pour with ample clarity and just a wisp under 1/2" white head with small bubbles. Aroma was fresh clear cut forest tract. Chinook was nice and familiar here with its big green ways on a cool morning. Had this at the Single, Fresh, Wet & Wild Hop Harvest Festival in Chico, CA on the Sierra Nevada grounds.

Taste is basically a well done, west coast pale ale featuring lots of Chinook fresh hops giving a big forest pine blast in every sip. Beer was well carbonated but well placed in these Chinook (or other C hops) hopped beers. I wouldn't say it was excessively bitter. It was simply enjoyable. Really brought the feeling of being on wet grass, alongside a pine tree with moss and plenty of needles littered everywhere. Crisp stuff.

Bruce Springsteen is good stuff but there is a lot of filler on the albums that sounds alike.

On tap at Albertsons. Hazy orange amber pour topped with a small creamy head. Mild musty citrus aroma, like tangerines. Taste is equal mix of hops and malt, velvety mouth feel, soft finish. More golden ale than APA.

I enjoyed this one at the brewery today. As advertised, an all Colorado hop beer with some even coming from employees' back yards! The info card says that the hops were used within days of being picked so I take that to mean it's probably a wet hop beer.

It has a hazy golden orange color with thick creamy white head.

Aroma is nice and hoppy, somewhat grassy, not overly powerful.

Flavor is very good, hoppy but with good balance. It has a fresh, almost resiny character. Cascade, nugget, Red Vine, and chinook hops were all used in this beer.

Mouthfeel is very creamy and smooth. This may be the only American pale ale I've had on nitro and it really works well. It's just too bad that I can't take a growler home because this is a great pale ale.
