Small pour at First Draft into a tulip. A nice orange copper pour with a nice musty dank pine aroma. Medium bodied with a good amount of residual sweetness. This is a balanced ipa featuring woodsy pine bark/cone notes.

Can. Light haze on this amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy with good fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, light cream. Spicy marmalade and tangy tangerine. Traces of citric peel and tropical fruits. Light semi dry finish brings mild pine and hop spice. Not bad at all but was expecting a brighter IPA from the USA.

12 fl oz can, bought at Total Wine and drunk in a hotelroom in Las Vegas. But I was in NM in 2010 drank a beer of that brewery but wasn´t rating at that time. Pours out in the glass in an unclear dark orange, nearly two finger foamy head. Pine and floral hop on the nose. Taste starts with malt and resin, hopy bitterness, some floral elements and hints of citrus in the background. Really nice.

Can. Amber beer with a dark cream head. Grapefruit and light caramel aroma. Tropical fruit and grapefruit flavor. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Tropical fruit and grapefruit linger with light caramel.

Poured from a 12oz can. Aroma is moderately malty with some cracker and a light caramel character. Moderate grapefruit notes with some light pine resin character. Light tropical fruit notes as well. Pours a slightly cloudy, light copper-orange with a big, fluffy, slightly off white head. Moderately high lacing With faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with some cracker malt character and light caramel notes. Medium bitterness with moderate hop flavors. Hop flavors of grapefruit and pine resin with a bit of stone fruit. Faint alcohol note in the finish and some lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation with a bit of slick sweetness but no stickiness. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but a bit too much malt character and not enough hop flavor. Well balanced but not towards the dry, very hop forward character that I prefer. Not too sweet, but a bit sweeter than I prefer.

Draft pour. Pours a dark copper. A lot of caramel flavor with a decent hop balance. Easy drinking beer. Not bad at all.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark caramel-amber color with a medium sized foamy off white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sourish, tart and dryish with fruity and floral hops. The flavor was tangy and bitter with floral and perfumey hops - thin and lacing in any noticeable malt base. Medium finish. Medium body. Meh.

Pour is a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is mild hops with a sweet caramel malt backbone. Flavor is more of the caramel malts with a decent underlying hop. Hops are there but the strong malt presence kinda overrides the hoppy goodness. Santa Fe beers are all ok but just need a little more oomph.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a orange colored body mostly clear with a one finger white foamy head that rises and falls fairly quickly - it takes about twenty seconds to settle into the body, slightly thick foamy lacing clings to the sides of the pint glass.
The smell has some strong malts up front, but a good amount of citrusy hops come out to play.
The taste is a balanced sweet citrus/malty flavoring with a slightly buttery aftertaste, and a sweet dry finish.
On the palate, its about a light to medium, somewhat sessionable, and seems to get a bit oily here and there on the tongue and mouth. Carbonation is good for the style and for me.
Overall, I say this is a good AIPA, though close to an EIPA, might not necessarily seek it out right away, but would welcome it again.
