Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy orange to amber color. There was some light lacing trickling into the beer. There was a half finger white foamy head.
The smell had some sharp pine with a little bit of tobacco.
The taste had a nice bittersweet blend and brought back the tobacco to intertwine with the flavor.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionable aspect running in and out coating my tongue.
Overall, this was a pretty good AIPA worthy of having again.

On tap @ FEBC Fort Collins. Pours a hazy golden appearance with a cream colored head. Really dank, resiny ganja, grassy, bright grapefruity hoppy nose. Nice aroma. A bit more malty than I would have preferred bit it’s still a pretty damn good beer. Sweet toasted grains, cracker. Great hops flavors. Spicy and dank. Pineapple, grapefruit. Finishes pretty bitter. Man, if this was tweaked just a little, it has a serious chance of being low 4’s. It’s still drinking pretty fucken good right now and certainly better than anything else a block away at Pateros Creek, Equinox, and Coopersmiths. Do a 4.5-5.0% version of this, please!

On tap @ FEBC Fort Collins. Pours a deep brown appearance with a thin brown head. Coffee, light chocolate, earthy, herbal hoppy nose. Fairly earthy, bitter hoppy flavor. Doughy, slightly charred malty taste. Some cookie notes. A little too bitter. Kind of grows on me, but I’m still not overly impressed with it.

On tap @ FEBC Fort Collins. Pours a hazy dark orange appearance with a white head. Dull hops in the nose with some toasted grains but nothing too potent. The flavor has this weird burnt charcoal, slightly smoky flavor. Pretty bitter, piney hops. Dull carbonation. Not as good as the others I’ve had here today.

On tap @ FEBC Fort Collins. Pours a hazy golden orange appearance with a white head. Spicy piney hops with some dank ganja notes and some citrus. Carbonation is a bit dull. Flavor is pretty solid. Nice hops - pine, sap / resin, grapefruit, tangerine - not overly malty or sweet. Bitterness is a bit high but the beer is otherwise pretty drinkable.

On tap @ FEBC Fort Collins. Pours a glowing, cloudy yellow orange appearance with a white head. Sweet orange citrus in the nose with some wheat and vanilla. Moderately sweet flavor. A little yeasty. Nice citrus flavor. Pretty juicy. Nice rendition of an American Hefeweizen.

Draft - Tart citrus and some white grape. Hazy gold with a white head. Light citrus and the white wine makes it through. Not a dry but a sweet finish. Odd but interesting.
