My palette honestly might be shot from a previous IPA because I really dont taste anything but the feel is good. Not the freshest can either. Seems promising I wanna try again.


Update: had a much fresher can so I get all the flavors now its just not my favorite, the hops they must use in this just aren't my preference thats all.

Quasi-Decent: absolutely
Urine qualities (pre/post): none
Fugly colored: nope, more caramel
Head: good

Delightful beer to drink. Sassy and spritzy all at once. You won’t be drinking the inside of a tree, which many will find positive. Deep complexion, like my ex. Such a win. Will order again all day long.

Had on tap at Magustos (great saloon bar) in Minturn, CO on 12/29/20. Brewery in Avon. Decent IPA recommended as a local brewery. Would buy again.

On tap at the North Side Kitchen in Avon. Brewed down the road. Waitress: "When I drank, I loved Firestarter." Balanced, low key malt and piney hops. Just north of a pale ale. Very drinkable.

12 oz. can poured into Willibecher.

A- Light gold, brassy. Head is white, and fairly dense. Lacing and retention good.

S- Nice citrus and some tropical notes. A little juicy. Malt background is mildly toasty.

T- More mild than aroma suggests. Toasty malt comes in more. Followed by some bitter citrus.

M- Body is medium, with a mild bitter linger in the finish.

O- Solid IPA. Well-balanced.

Poured into a tulip a nice clean/clear dark golden yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, guava). The taste is hoppy, malty, with a nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, guava). Medium body, ABV is hidden nicely, with a little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a tasty brew.

Had to fudge my rating a little bit--I'm drinking straight from the can because I'm camping just outside denver. So I have no idea about how this beer looks. But it smells tastes and feels good. Piney and bitter. Malt flavors are fairly mild but good. Body is perfect. I like it.
