Had this when we were in Denver on the first of two trips in the summer of 2019. This was the first one.
Pours the most familiar of all beer colors, the golden yellow hue with decent clarity, and 1/2" white head, this was from the tap, at the source. Similar to most brut beers, the hop aroma is not as enjoyable as a 'normal' ipa. While some popular hitters like Citra and El Dorado are here, it is more of a mild grain, feel to it with only some light citrus notes.
Not really smelling anything grape either.
Taste brings out a light grapeness, but it still has the citrus rind thing going for it moreso. Mouth feel is such that the claim of 20ibu seems like an exaggerated commercial tug job into the land of puffery similar to the claim of heavy dry hopping. You ain't gotta lie to kick it as the kids used to say (who now are old enough for back pain). The mouth feel did have some of the brut ipa dryness, but the grape and brut-ish yeast are slightly juxtaposed. We had our two beers and were out.
