12 oz can from Wilbur’s. Amber colored and slightly hazy with a sticky white head. Citrus fruit aroma with spicy hops and toasted caramel malts. Similar flavor with a medium body, a creamy feel and a clean dry finish. Nice bittersweet balance, a solid APA.
Poured in teku glass straight from can at home. Amber colour with light foam and leaves some lacing. Don’t think this is too fresh as the hops seemed to have lighted slightly. aroma is light sweet pine, some grapefruit. Enjoyable beer but nothing to special.
Leggermente ambrata buona schiuma discreta persistenza mado media intensita citrico leggera nora maltata buon amaro piuttosto secco con un bel finale citrico scorza di agrumi
This is yet another nice canned beer from a Colorado brewery. Well balanced and tasty. And on sale for $7.99 a sixer. I think I’ll stick a case in my saddlebags and head for the hills.
A tasty mellow ipa - some orange zest, caramel, a little tropical fruit. The tattooed clerk seemed like a cool guy who knows beer, and he was really going on about it - "She is delicious." Good brew.
Can @ home. Hazy, ruby orange appearance with a big tan head. Creamy, grapefruit/orange citrusy hoppy, a little, spicy aroma. Slightly toasty, caramel, a bit bready, a touch tangy, citrusy hoppy flavor. Not bad. I may pick up a sixer of this in the near future.
On tap at Steamworks. Super fruity. The finish becomes kinda grassy. Firmly bitter. Hay and wheat.
355ml can from Beers of Europe. It’s quite cute getting a half decent beer from a can. This has a hazy orange tinge, and a little more strength and hops than a regular APA, though that is what the brewers currently call it. Originally they termed it an IPA (hence the name, which was originally Third Eye P.A. [Eye P A]), and was the third IPA Steamworks had made. The abv has been inconsistent, ranging from 5.9 to over 7% - reaching 9% at times. The beer is quite nice, leafy hops, flavoursome, and not overdone. The malt is mostly clean and neutral, but does carry the hops quite nicely. All in all a very enjoyable beer. It reminds me of Punk IPA.
In a can. Pours a golden colour with a thin beige head. Nice hoppy aroma of passion fruit, pineapple and caramel. Flavours of pineapple and passion fruit with a nice caramel and Weetabix malt backbone. Moderate carbonation and a chewy mouth-feel. Very tasty.
Can from Beers of Europe. Poured a hazy orange colour with a decent white head. Nose was big on caramel malts with some citrus and piney hop notes also. The flavour was similarly sweet and teetered on becoming cloying, just being rescued by the hop profile. Relatively shortlived bitterness. Ok but not the greatest IPA out there. Funky looking can though. Keep that 3rd eye blinking y’all.
Draft @ brewpub. Copper-gold with rising bubbles and scant lace. Wonderful aroma is part pine, part purple-haired pot, and all hops. Great drinkability level. Wonderful balance here, the hop is everything I could want for--oily, piney, cannabisy, and some juicy fruit on the bottom of it all. A unique take, and is minus chewy malt. What’s there not to like?
Draught at the brewery this was listed at 5.9%. Amber. Leafy, woody hop aroma. Rich bitterness, light fruits, woody. The body is a bit thin. The malts have a light caramel but don’t seem to handle the hops well.
Can from Beers of Europe, 6.5% ABV. A deep gold colour with a thin white head and medium carbonation. Fresh, hoppy aroma. Thick body, quite sweet malt with a fairly bitter finish. Perfumy hops. I actually enjoy this more than many IPAs because the bitterness is fairly restrained.
Hoppie aroma, dark golden-red color, good head. Smooth, bitter beer with a hoppie finish. Fantastic pale ale.
Sampled at an ESBLS tasting. Very big grapefruit hops take charge and run rampant. They are somewhat resiny, tart, and bitter. Not a bad beer and big for a pale ale.
On tap @ Vine Street Brewpub in Denver. Clear gold with a thick white head. Left great lace. Great aroma of floral hops and orange zest, with a touch of honey. Taste had a ton of honey, with some light citrus hop and grassy tones. Not too bitter, letting the honey sweetness shine through, through to the aftertaste where the hops come back very softly.
from a can marking abv @ 6.5%. Pours deep, clear red orange with nice looking off white frothy head, good retention. Aroma is sweet and nectary, with hops adding a fruity aspect, also plenty of malty caramel and biscuit. Medium bodied, smooth and creamy. I will admit there is a slight soapiness to it but I’m not finding it a bad thing here, just slick feeling. Quite malty with the hops proving a resiny, nugget / nectar / sweet sensation, there is some bitterness on the finish but not too much. Not bad when you get it fresh here in CO, it may not be remarkable but it is solid and deserving of a try.
355 ml can. 6.5% says the can. From King’s Lynn, England.
Murkish amber colour with small white head.
Dark fruity sweet hoppy aroma with malt and caramel.
Flavour is some fruitiness, malt and mild bitterness. Flavour is disappointing after rather interesting fruity aroma.
Short fruity hoppy aftertaste. Very one dimentional.
Pours hazy orange with white head, aroma has notes of grass, touch of citrus, and caramel. Taste is slightly weak, with some notes of grass and pine, touch of caramel and biscuit, finishing slightly bitter. More like an APA, but all the right flavors are there.
Dumb label, tastes like dirt, glad i only have 1 bottle. Stay away form this balnd apa.
Can from Beers of Europe. Amber colour, off-white head. Aroma is light malted, lots of caramel and hops. Flavour is malty, caramel, bit hoppy. Good drinkable.
Can from Bullit. Grassy caramel hop aroma. Rich amber colour. Grass caramel & hop flavour. Bitter aftertaste. Nice can. Not bad for canned beer.

A hazy amber beer. Very frothy - annoyingly so - white head that takes ages to die back. Soft palate, frothy in the mouth as it is in the glass. A little malt and a little hop, doesn’t taste anything like 7.2%. Just much too gassy - like drinking foam!
Bottle. Pour is clear amber with a white soapy head. Aroma is sweet floral and citrus and caramel malt. Taste is caramel and sweet flowers and fruity hops with a nice malty finish. Palate is medium mouthfeel with good carbonation and finishes sticky. Not bad, but not one you will tell your friends about.
12 oz bottle. The beer pours an orange color with a white head. The aroma is caramel and toffee malt, with some pine mixed in. The beer smells a little bit like tea. The flavor is tea and caramel, along with some pine and earthy hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Decent, but nothing special.
[355ml can, Beers of Europe, King’s Lynn] Poured highly carbonated from the can – although after a while the head fizzled out to a lacing. Characteristic strong US hop aromas, leaning towards an IPA rather than the Pale Ale on the can (but let’s not start that style discussion again). Punchy hop taste and a very long, biting aftertaste. It was refreshing, but would maybe get a bit much after a while with that thick finish [03112009]
Sampled on 9/14/2010. This India Pale Ale pours a light to medium orange gold color from a 12oz can. Large sized white foamy head with good lacing and long lasting retention. The aroma is fruity and sweet, grassy and floral hops. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet, lot of orange flavors. The hops are grassy and floral. Lively carbonation. Nicely balanced. A medium bitter IPA. Nice orange flavors. Hard not to like an IPA in a can. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
Poured from bottle. Resinous nose -- major pine and spruce, not as much citrus. Color is a hazy orange-gold. Flavor is good, with the hops and malt in balance, but the carbonation is weaker than I expected. It’s almost as if the beer is slightly flat. It’s OK, but there’s better PA options out there.
(12oz can thanks to mar) clear bright orange, ring of oily bubbles. Nose of sweet bread, orange marmalade, candied fruit, juicy and bready. Taste of wildflower honey, yeasty bread, dough, lightly spicy, pretty tasty. Oily body slightly watery. Linger of honey.
Cloudy gold pour with a creamy white head. Hoppy sweet aroma almost candy-like. Taste and palate disappoint. Watery and bitter lacking body. Not that this is a terrible beer, it would taste great after a day on the trail, but clearly not the best from CO,
