We ventured into unfamiliar territory to create an IPA to fit our style. An intense floral nose, firm balanced flavor and long hoppy finish make Rocky Mountain IPA our very own.

Pours a clear copper - earthy, woody hops in the aroma, with a fairly substantial malt base - a subtle but noticeable flaw in the form of a peanut skin aroma - begins with fairly strong earthy hop flavors, but with a balanced, non-abrasive bitterness - malts start out a bit crisp and crackery, but the finish brings a sweeter, richer malt character that tastes very much like the malt profile in several of their lagers - not necessarily bad, just weird in that respect - the full hop flavor and balanced bitterness salvages it, but this one could use some work.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours bright amber with a slight frothy off-white head. Aromas of resin over roast malt. Seems pretty floral. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is resin over roast malt. Finishes floral hoppy over light malt sweetness. Good beer. Standard IPA.

Fresh lemon-citic hop nose with some grassy resins. Flavor is more interesting, a citrus hop with honeyed bready malts, fairly balanced but thereβs some good bitterness at the finish. Hazy copper color, good foamy head and heavy lacing.

Bottle: Bright copper color with a finger of creamy beige head. Thick, sticky bits of lacing. Nose is rich with grapefruit, citrusy. Just a bit of malts. Taste is hop-forward, citrus and florals. Dry and floral, but enough malt to keep things modest in bitterness. Crisp finish touches on both citrus and florals. Good.

A golden amber ale with a thin creamy lacing off white head. A light caramel malt with nutty floral hops. In mouth, a decent IPA with light biscuitty malt and light floral C-hops, pleasant and smooth. And this is more than a year old. Bottle from Half Time, from a mix 12 pack, July 2008, tasted Oct. 19 2009.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange-caramel color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was a lovely mix of strong grapefruit, light pine, resin, orange and spruce. The flavor disappointed with a dry and sour nutty presence with moderate grapefruit and pine underneath. The body was surprisingly flat given the head. This one did not quite work for me. Ok.

Bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm
Hazy amber color; generous head; nice lace. Sweet and fruity hop aroma; it has a light nose of creamy cheese; very interesting. The mouthfeel is initially round, but later it shows some weakness; strong caramel flavor, dry toffee, malty too; strong hopping, earthy character. An IPA with character.
