This smooth orange Imperial IPA drinks as smooth and creamy as Drew Barrymores theighs. Coming in at 8% this could be dangerous, take caution when enjoying or else you’ll end up holding onto the Earth trying not to let it throw you off. Smells of tropical fruit and and hops. Worth your time if you can find it. Cheers.

This full sized aipa comes over creamy and thick. Perfect for a double.

It's pale yellow. The aroma is good but not memorable. It works.

Recommended if you are in the Aspen area.

12 oz. Can
ABV: 8%

Poured into a tulip a very nice slightly hazy dark golden orangy color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which leaves some pretty nice thick/creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is mostly malty, with some hops, slight citrus, slightly sweet. The taste is malty, some hops, some citrus, some sweetness. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, very slight dry/bitter finish. Overall, a tasty brew, but more on the malty side.

22oz bottle $7.99, no freshness date. I was skeptical but this was a really good beer. Bright orange, slight haze, lots of lace. Aroma is juicy, hoppy, fruity. Flavor is nice juicy and fruity hops. Super tasty.

It's a DIPA loaded with Citra!! There was little very little chance I wouldn't like this. I know this is the cheater hop right now for IPA's and everyone loves it, but hey I can't help what my palate likes, right?

Poured into 10oz snifter from tap at the brewery tap room, which is a very cool space!

L- lightly hazy, golden hue. Good head retention.
S- Sweet, citrus, tangerine, tropical fruit all the wonderful stuff I love and look for from citra.
T- Follows nose really well. I can pick up the tangerine, melon, citrus and it is all balanced well on a good malt base with a little bit of biscuity sweetness which allows the hops to be juicy like they should be. Good stuff!
F- Juicy, yet slightly light.
O- Great DIPA. I have had citra better presented - I can't put my finger on why this didn't blow me away but still it is very, very tasty. I really like this brewery and try and stop every time I am in Glenwood Springs.
