Crisp, golden and light orange coloured body with a soft, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of crisp grapefruit and citrus with a grassy and herbal bite along with some light malts, a touch of pepper and a very fresh hop bite with a bunch of alpha acids. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent deep hoppy notes dominate with a ton of fresh hops, a lot of citrusey and even lightly juice notes with a bit of honey and sweeetness on the end. Aftertaste shows some fresh hops, a lot of alpha acids, hardly any malts, which makes this go down nicely, but still shows a lot of bitterness and orange/citrusey components. Overall, a very nice Light IPA with a ton of flavours, while being very easy to drink and showing a lot of bitterness and alpha acids with a hint of alcohol, but not much malt at all. Great to sample, especially being purchased inside Yellowstone National Park, while not seeing it at all in Montana! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from the Old Faithful General Store in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming on 31-July-2020 for US$2,29 sampled in my hotel room here in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming in Colter Bay Village on 02-August-2020.

Relatively crisp golden and peach coloured body with a thick, two to three centimetre tall off-white head and a touch of a haze in the body. Aroma of wheat, grass, hay, flowers and a tiny bit of honey - quite strong that shows a bit more than most hefeweizens. Light-bodied; Sharp wheatie and honey flavour at first with a very smooth and easy-drinking bite that shows wheat and some smooth flowers with a crisp, biscuity bite and no hops at all. Aftertaste shows some light honey and wheat throughout with a dry and herbal floral bite that shows some chamomile blossoms and a dash of earthiness towards the finish that is a bit more drying than most for the style, but some light sweetness, all originating from the honey and nothing from fruits or caster sugar. Overall, a nice-ish wheat that shows some very soft flavours, but some that aren't typically attributed to wheats, but more of a golden ale with a lot of additional honey. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Super One Foods in Kalispell, Montana on 26-July-2020 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in Missoula, Montana on 28-July-2020.

Very crisp golden, peach and almost copper coloured body, all with a rather large four to five centimetre tall, just off-white coloured head. Aroma of crisp grain, light metal, a touch of flowers, some caster sugar, nuts, caramelise sugars and a dash of earthiness at the very end, almost more malt-focused than hoppy. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong crisp and grainy flavour shows at first with a lot of malt, some softer metallic notes and a light astringency of alcohol and nuttiness towards the end, but the nuttiness and light earthy qualities almost overshadow the hops. Aftertaste shows a good blend of both malt and hops with a dry and crisp grainy bite, but some caramelised sugars and earthy malt shows a bit more potent at first and then the deep hoppiness finishes towards the end with a piney and floral bite. Overall, a nice and crisp beer that hits all the right marks and provides a good bitterness that is a bit more crisp, dry, piney and bitter while the malt is robust and rich as well. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Super One [grocery store] in Kalispell, Montana on 26-July-2020 for US$1,67 as a reward for driving the Going-To-The-Sun road in Glacier National Park on 27-July-2020.

(Thanks, Jim! Ozzy70) Can. A- Mild pine, caramel. A- Copper color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Caramel, slightly soapy, spruce, bitter. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- If I close my eyes, this beer tastes like the Mountain West, if you could taste nature I suppose. A bit old school. Lots of caramel malt and uncooked bread dough. Bitterness is present but not aggressive. Fair amount of coniferous tree needles.

355ml can. Pours a clear red-brown with a medium, foamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Sweet aroma of lightly roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate, earth and a hint of smoke. Sweet flavour of roasted bready malt, caramel, toffee, cocoa, raisin, peat, nuts and earthy hops in a dry finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Ok, but nothing special.
