On tap at the brewpub. This is their flagship beer and that is understandable. I cannot make a suggestion to improve on it.
A nice amber in the glass, it Smells like sweet malty brew (not unlike an O-fest.) It Tasted that way also, clean without a lot of yeast interference. The hops balance well with the sweet and add a slightly fruity, juicy presence that comes and goes.
If you like malty ales, try this. I gave it extra points for Wynkoop's role in turning around the Union Station area after Denver was talking about tearing down the district where the city started. It is a great success story and beer helped !

Light brown in color, darker than most amber/reds, thin 1/4" head. Aroma was pretty neutral.
Taste was a malt heavy amber ale going all in on that and backing down from the hops. Equal parts red and brown ale. Average stuff.

Waaaay too sweet. Reminds me of the sweetened `special` beers in Germany. Red/black label and all
