We like to think this is an ale for everyone who believes you make your own luck. We sure did. And the result is a well-balanced, soulful IPA with just the right amount of hoppiness. An even keeled ale that goes down clean and refreshing, but still lets you know it’s been doted on by the Brewmaster. It’s true to it’s IPA heritage, but also highly drinkable. Lucky U. And we seriously mean that.

Shaker pint draft at the hotel bar at the Warwick in Denver, Colorado. Pour is olden copper with a smallish off white head. Some odd floaties and bubbles swirl around in the glass. Aroma is strong generic bitterness and a touch of toasty malt behind that. The taste is strong unpleasant bitter, really no citrus pine or discernible character - just brash and off-putting. The toasty malt comes out as it warms, but really can’t counter act the bitterness and save the beer. Ugh - based on other ratings I wonder if this keg is off, or old.

tap at Breckenridge brewpub in Denver - Pours gold/copper with a lingering off-white head. It has a nice grapefruit hops aroma. It tastes like a heavily hopped west coast style IPA with big cutrus accented hops flavor and a long, bitter finish. It’s medium bodied and well crafted. Very enjoyable.
