Colorado Native is a hand crafted lager made with all Colorado ingredients that celebrates the joys of life in Colorado.
Hold up a pint of Colorado Native and drink in its amber lager color, brought to life with pale and caramel malts from our famous Moravian 2-row barley. We painstakingly balanced its malt character against select Chinook, Centennial and Cascade hops to create a perfectly balanced, full-flavored beer. A lager yeast fermentation gives Colorado Native a slight fruitiness, complementing a citrus aroma note from a late kettle hop addition. Everything then comes together to deliver a clean taste and dry finish that is very drinkable by itself, or paired with your favorite foods.

Pint plastic glass at the bar at the Frisco Marina, as well as via can purchased at Dillon Ridge Beer and Wine in Dillon, Colorado. These notes are for the canned version. Aug 1511 stamped on the bottom of the can. Pour is clear golden copper, some amber with a two inch off white head. Aroma is lightly sweet malt, along with a somewhat dirty earthiness. The taste is the slightly sweet malt, followed close behind with the dirtiness, that even has some vegetal present. The palate is thin, carbonation is a bit overdone, and the earthiness thankfully clears pretty quick. I enjoyed this more on draft.

I don’t quite understand the ratings that compare with to regular Coors, as this is nothing like it at all - anyway - pours a lively clear copper with a substantial, sticky lace - fairly full maltiness in the nose, dry, crackery - a bit earthy/yeasty - a lot of dry, dusty malt and yeast character that doesn’t quite come together well - the hop profile doesn’t help - moderate bitterness that is tasty at first, but starts to become soapy toward the end and long into the finish - no, it’s not like Coors, but that doesn’t make it good.

Bottle at the Sudwerks beerfest. Pours amber with a foamy off-white head. Light citric aroma. Medium body. Nicely bitter; lightly bready. Bitter goes into the finish. Good level of bitter.
