Good fruity bite almost like mango or pineapple pops with a nice crisp finish and it's quite easy to drink but it's kind of forgettable and not really worth picking up again in my mind.

 

 

Weird, for some reason I liked the pineapple-ish taste better than the pineapple-ish aftertaste that this beer left behind. Was thinking while drinking this, that this should be an Aloha Style IPA and not an New England Style IPA.

 

 

 

L:. Pours a hazy straw yellow lemonade color with a very rocky creamy white head and thick rings of lacing.

S:. Peach, lemon ride, some pineapple, and other citrus fruit and some mango, a bit of a earthy weediness. Not quite as sweet as expected.

T:. Strong lemon tartness, peach, some orange, mango and pineapple, a medium earthy bitterness. Not a terribly sweet or fruity hazy IPA.

F:. Creamy mouthfeel, medium body.

O:. Not bad, but this is definitely not my favorite hazy IPA.

 

Not bad. Had at Elways at Denver airport. Did you know John Elway has a restaurant, insurance company and condom company in Denver. Basically every company in Denver is called Elways

Anyways, an ok beer but a poor representation of the NE IPAs I’m used to, but in fairness I’ve been spoiled with Trillium and Treehouse. So....nice job. I will have to visit this place next time in Boulder

Signing off from the John Elway International Airport

Pours an effervescent gold with 2+ fingers of rocky ivory colored head. Some head retention & lacing, a little hazing

S: Tropical & citrus notes in abundance

T: Passion fruit, oranges & dryness up front. Grapefruit & passion fruit as this warms, plenty of dryness. finishes dry with oranges, passion fruit & grapefruit

MF: Medium body, moderate carbonation, good balance

Very easy to drink, nice take on the style

 

 

Odd take on the Hazy style. I did not hate it, but the citrus profile is dominated by sharp notes of lemon. The beer grew more complex after a few sips, but ultimately the lemon is just too prevalent.

Hazy pale yellowish. Light body and pleasantly sudsy. It's quite acidic, very sharp. Nose is lemon cake. Citrus flavors, lemon peel, a raw taste in the back of the throat. Really fruity in the "juicy" style. Moderate bitter finish with grapefruit peel in the aftertaste.

Every brewery seems to have to try their hand at the fruit juice raw grain style. I wouldn't say this is an improvement over the average. It's murky tasting, some gunk and heat like grapefruit pith. Still, it's not bad and may appeal to the hop slave. From the 12 oz can purchased in the far Northwest.

Very nice NE-style IPA from a brewery that’s new to me. Pours a nice hazy yellow color with some fine white head and spotty lingering lacing. Smells of some grapefruit, lemon, orange and pineapple citrus as well as some weaker malt, floral hops and vanilla. Taste follows the nose, and the sweeter malt backbone is just enough to balance the mild hoppy bitterness. Smooth, mild mouthfeel with just a touch of creaminess. Good carbonation. Not as juicy as I was expecting (given the NE style) but still very enjoyable and refreshing.

 

 

Sweet, overripe fruit hoppiness on the nose. For me, this is a little over carbonated on the feel and body which interferes with the finding the different notes on the taste This one is a little unbalanced to me and is more of an unfiltered West Coast than it is a hazy IMO.
