That standard Beer Flavor. Nothing remarkable but nothing bad either

This is a solid APA, nothing fancy but well balanced and full of flavor. It's not overly hoppy which is nice, and you get a bit of the backbone on the front end of the beer as well. Looks like this one had been retired for a long time, not sure if it's back permanently or just a one-off, but either way glad to give it a try.

 

 

 

Why not wet your whistle with this Colorado classic. Not too hoppy, yet smoother than most pale ales.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On draft at Ratio. Nice copper color. Small white head, almost no lacing. Light grassy, hop aroma decent amount of grain in aroma. Taste is grainy with a pleasant moderate hop bitterness. Medium carbonation with light hop bitterness lingering on the tongue. Overall, a solid easy drinking pale ale.

i agree with the other reviewer here that this is tasty beer, but probably a tweak or two away from being excellent and memorable. its pale in color for the style, suggesting a lighter malt base, but in fact it has quite a bit of grain character to it, very cerealy and dry, which i appreciate in a beer that is supposed to be hop forward. the problem for me is that its not real hoppy, it never quite gets to balanced, let alone beyond it. like its almost not flavored enough in that sense. there are notes of lemon zest and spruce, which are pleasant, but i have to go looking for them every time, and it never quite materializes as much. i think the grain bill is right on for what i think of in an extra pale style, pleasantly dry but robustly flavored. the hops need to be altered a little, ramped up, dry hopped, i dont know, but i miss them just a bit. its not way off, and i could drink plenty of these as it is, but it would be improved by this change. totally overwhelmed by even moderately flavorful cuisine. i like the name for this one though, as it is very sessionable. nice to see these guys doing well in a very crowded beer neighborhood.
