A big bodied pale ale chock full of extra goodness. Extra malt, extra hops, extra yeast, and extra love. They don’t call it "The Crippla" for nothing.

Tap at the Vine Street Pub, Denver. Poured a clear light amber with a thin white head. The aroma is malt and citrus hop. The flavour is strong bitter with a strong hoppy liqourice palate. This beer makes a statement but too much of a statement to be a session ale.

Tap at Vine Street - came here hoping to catch the Dirty Dark - they were out, so I just grabbed a pint of this - I’ve had it many times, but never rated it - great go-to beer for this place; much like their Java Porter, it is always solid - a sturdy, but crisp malt base gives just enough heft to support the citric bitterness of the hops - orange, lemon ring, pine - medium bodied but still quite refreshing - yup, they do hoppy beer right here.

On tap at Southern Sun. Hazy, cloudy orange tan. Fluffy, small head. Balanced malt/hop aroma, shows a little alcohol depth. Truly captures the American Strong Ale category, not really an APA. Deep, fruity malt depth. Solid bitter hop balance. Somewhat syrupy and thick, but still has some freshness. Resiny. OK, but a little rough around the edges.
