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.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Greens Discount Beverage - Atlanta (Buford Hwy), 5/26/09
Aroma: Floral, hoppy nose, a bit buttery
Appearance: Reddish burnt orange color, about 1/2- finger of white head that dissipates quickly, some minor lacing on the glass
Flavor: Early taste is a nice balance between sweet malts and floral hops, middle to late palate is more bitter, with a nice lasting bitter hoppy aftertaste
Palate: Medium body, a bit sticky
Overall Impression: It's got some typical IPA characteristics, but it's a little different. I like what they tried to do here, its a good effort, and an interesting take on the IPA.

Bottle thanks to Swalden28. Pours a hazy golden brown with a small, white head. Aroma is caramel malt, nut shell, floral hops, pepper and dirt. Taste is hoppy bitterness with light fruit notes and water. Kind of stale. Lively bubbles.
GABF week 2012. On tap at the brewery. Pours with a clear golden hued body with a lasting white head. Aromas are citrusy, floral, pine, tangy, caramel. Flavors are sweet with a lot of caramel, lightly citrusy and light pine. Medium carbonation with a sweet finish.

Bottle courtesy of Butters on 08/12/2008. Very clear copper amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Big earthy and floral hop aroma with a big malty background and some citrus hints. More floral and light citrus flavor, smooth caramel background. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle. I am not sure what the elephant is doing in the Rockies. Anyhow, pours copper with little head. Aromas have a very heavy pineapple edge to them. Flavor is crisp pine and citrus hops over a caramel malt body. This is very nice stuff and I dont see how it is rated so low.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 30 July 2008) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity nose with citrus, caramel, orange peel and grapefruit. Malty, fruity taste with notes of toffee, caramel and chocolate leading to a citrussy finish with orange, grapefruit and resin. Quite complex and rather nice one.

12 oz bottle-pours a rich off white head and copper color. Aroma is floral/herbal/citrus. Taste is somewhat bitter herbal/citrus/tea leaf hops, almost equal medium malt-caramel. Initially OK carbonation then disappears quickly. An OK crossover sessionable malty IPA. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.
