1st review of this beer on BA. Had this on the 1st Denver trip last summer, June 2019.

Pours nice, lots of clarity in a yellow 3/5" white head beer. Aroma was the least impressive category, but this is often true with brut ipas, but even when you don't have a brut, Azacca and El Dorado aren't the most aromatic hops despite agricultural tug jobs saying otherwise.

Taste makes me think they used those hops in both bittering and dry hopping. Its nice, floral and dry. To call it juicy would be a stretch. Its that dryness coupled with the mild bitterness (I don't for a second think the ibus are as low as they claim, at 25. . . if anything I'd say this is closer to 50) that makes for an enjoyable mouth feel after a moderately good taste throughout. Was on tap at the brewery, so carbonation was right on point at slightly higher than your average beer style. The high alpha acid hop stood out more in its bitterness than elsewhere. Big props to the home malted grain right there in Colorado used in this beer. Gotta believe it was helpful in achieving the two (4) scores up there (appearance and mouthfeel), not to mention 3.75 in taste ain't too shabby either. Would recommend.
