Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 5.5 | Flavor - 4.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
12oz can. Pours a crystal clear yellow golden color with a big sudsy white head that has fair retention and ample lacing. The aroma is medium in strength with grapefruit, lemons, guava and something floral. The taste is grapefruit and lemons and not very complex. The palate is light and the carbonation is soft. Finishes short and forgettable. Overall: Meh I'm sure this tastes better on tap at the brewery but its a bit underwhelming canned. Paired well with pretzels. --- Beer merged from original tick of India Pale Ale on 30 Dec 2024 at 14:53 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: 12oz can. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a small white head that soon recedes. The aroma is medium in strength with grapefruit and candied melons. The taste is rather mild with sweet citrus notes and some bitter pine on the back end. The palate was thin and crisp. Finished short and forgettable. Overall: Meh. I am surprised tiny Crested Butte has a brewery that cans beer. I suspect that this is better at the source and on tap.
