Pour is a milky looking blonde with a large white head. Aroma is a nice mango heavy tropical fruit. Flavor is a little less fruity than the aroma let on. I get some citrus rind with a lot of honey malt. Finish has a bite of bitterness and not much else. One of those beers where the aroma is a lot better than then flavor. Still decent and probably best when consumed fresh as possible.
8/15/18, tastes super fresh, delicious fresh hop. First beer of Colorado. Resiny and tasty.

12 oz can poured. A glowing hazy orange pour, a little on the lighter orange side. Rocky foam head that lasts. A super citrus IPA here, and drinks very easy for it's potency. Some tangy orange. Juicy IPA for sure. Tons of mixed citrus. Hints at possibly having a tart side even, but it's only when I'm looking hard for it. Cream body. Juice. It sums this one up a lot, and it's nothing like other beers a describe as juicy either. Interesting. Good stuff.

Can. A- Lemonade, cleaner, mild hops. A- Yellow color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Lemonade, dank, slightly sour, vinegar, acidic, mild bitterness, fruit rind. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- Almost like a harsh lemonade. Glad it's not a super aggressive IPA, but rather a unique hybrid of sour, funky, ipa slush. Unsure how I feel about this one.

Beaverfest. Day 1. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light thin malts still bring decent creamy sweetness. Good piney hop and mild hop spice. Floral citrus and fresh orange. More hop spice on the finish. Nice. Very drinkable.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a glowing, gold color with a finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Tangerine nose with some grass and faint orange pulp. Lots of orange, a little old malt. Light with some jammy apricot & peach. Lemon permeates throughout the nose and palate as well. Not bad, but would like to try fresher.

Draft at As Is. Fully frothy orange color with large, frothy head. Fairly heavy lace as well. Sweet malt and sweet fruity hops. Drinks clean and balanced, well hidden ABV. Smooth and creamy. Nice beer with a really nice mouthfeel.
