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.

Bottle. This IPA delivers on its promises of an intense floral aroma and a long, hoppy finish. Medium amber pour with a small, slightly off-white head. Huge floral aroma with notes of toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Medium body and watery texture. Long, thick, sticky floral finish.

12oz bottle courtesy of Degarth. Thanks buddy. The pour is rather striking with clear copper body and slightly frothy yet slightly creamy tan head and cobweb lacing. The initial drag of aroma starts with pine and grassiness and then becomes tart grapefruit. Between the hop notes is a stream of sweet maltiness. The taste doesn’t seem to have pine hops initially but rather grapefruit hop bitterness bordering on wet/green hop leafs. Midway a pine hop bitterness becomes more and more apparent until it becomes the strongest flavor component into the finish along with lightly roasted malts and mild malt sweetness. Very nice tasting IPA but the aroma is a bit too subtle keeping it from being a great IPA to me.

Nice deep amber coloured body with an orange tint and a very thin tan head. Aroma of grapefruity & earthy hops with some caramel, malt and nuts. Medium-bodied; Sharp hops noticeable up front fading to a very strong malty and nutty flavour. Aftertaste shows more nuts, malt, sweet flavours, raisins and some odd cardboard. Overall, not a very good IPA - way too malty and nutty than anything else. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage Center in Albany, New York on 10-January-2008.

The beer pours a color that is a mix of orange/red/amber, completely lucid with a small head. Aroma, for me, is a perfect mix without going over the top and annoying me. We got sweet and citrus hops and light tea aspects. Taste is a bit more aggressive, some bitterness more sharpness to the hops and less delicate sweet and citrus mix. Everything else is right around the norm.
12oz bottle, La Trappe small goblet glass.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Lukas, KCMO. Pour is a reddish copper color, slightyly hazy, with a decent sized (1 1/2 inch) head. Aroma is piney and citrus hops, not much else. Taste is maltier than I was expecting, and the malt had almost a smoky taste to it. Not unpleasant, but surprising. Beyond the malt, the grapefruit citrus and piney bitter finish feature. Not a great IPA, but a pretty interesting beer to try.

Sampled at the Odds and Ends Tasting II on 10/19/07: Lightly hazed orange-amber color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. Hops and grapefruit in the nose with a light malt undertone. Medium-bodied with a moderately hoppy character that has floral and grapefruit notes. Some malt and spice is present too. The finish is somewhat hoppy and lingers a bit. Decent overall.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is of very faint hops with a decnt amount of malts. Flavor is way super sweet with touches of malt and again the hops are way low for a IPA. Not even in the good category for an IPA.

bottle - Pours clear copper with a one finger white head. The enjoyable aroma is of hops with grapefruit. The flavor is, as expected for an IPA, led by the citrus hops. There’s some caramel malt buried in there too. It’s a fairly good brew though could be more crisp and a little better balanced. What we have is a pretty average IPA.
