Description
Outer Range Brewing is a community-driven microbrewery in the small mountain town of Frisco, Colorado. Co-founder and Head Brewer Lee Cleghorn’s love of craft beer began when he lived in Belgium as a teenager, where the first beers he ever drank were world-class Belgian ales. That background has served as inspiration for his IPAs, which showcase the ester profile of these traditionally hop-forward beers. A graduate of the American Brewers Guild Brewing Science and Engineering school in Vermont, Lee runs Outer Range with his wife and co-founder Emily, who is the Chief Marketing Officer and leads the brewery’s branding, marketing, and sales efforts. They met while homebrewing beer together ten years ago, and today, brew for and with a passionate community who lives at the intersection of craft beer and the outdoor mountain lifestyle.

Pours an only slightly hazy, pale golden yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has some tropical and citrus notes. Flavor follows, along with just a touch of hop bitterness in the finish. Guess I kind of expected a bit more.

Pours a very slightly hazy, pale golden yellow, with minimal head. Aroma is grassy, bready, with some spruce/pine hoppiness. Flavor follows suit. This is NOT the typical juicy NE-style IPA, unless I somehow got hold of a bad can or something. This is much more a traditional, grassy, bready, hoppy IPA. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you, but just be prepared.

Pours a very hazy, lemon-banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has tropical and citrus notes, some grassiness, and a lot of pine/spruce hops. Flavor follows suit, with a light touch of sweetness underlying it all. Very, very good beer.

Pours a slightly hazy, pale lemon yellow, with minimal head. Aroma is quite dank, with some sour washcloth, citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is lightly sweet, with citrus and tropical fruit, a touch of butterscotch, and some pine/spruce hop bite in the rather bitter finish.

Saisons aren't really my thing, but as saisons go, this isn't bad. Pours a slightly hazy, pale banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has some wheat esters (sour banana, etc.) and the sharp, peppery scent of the yeast. Flavor is peppery, with some sour banana, a touch of lactic acid. Tasty and refreshing.

16 oz can given to me by Alagnak. Shive On 09/06/18 printed on the bottom of the can. The pour is a hazed yellow orange with a small white head that leaves wispy lace. The aroma is clementine, tangerine fruit citrus, fresh and clean. The taste is the bright tangerine mandarin orange fruit flavor, soft cereal malt and a touch of alcohol heat. The palate is medium to light bodied, unfiltered mouth feel, dry with a touch of the citrus fruit lingering. Nicely constructed and executed beer, thanks Chris!

Draft at the brewhouse. Opaque yellow apple sauce color. Ugly pour. Decent lacing. Has the typical Belgian yeast sour-ish flavor. No thanks. At least the ABV is well hidden.

Taste on draft at Trail's End. Pours a hazy, bright yellow, with a big, frothy, white head. The aroma is wet grass, bread dough, white sugar, honeysuckle, and sawdust. Sweet and a bit yeasty, with a mild bitterness. Light to medium body, with a chewy, very lively mouthfeel. This is a light, crisp beer, with some great hop aromatics and yeast character.

On tap at Freshcraft. Pours an opaque yellow color, with a medium, rocky, white head. The nose is orange juice, pine, black pepper, cloves, and damp straw. Sweet and juicy, with a lovely, sharp bitterness. Light to medium body, with a crisp, and grainy palate. Big, spicy, and juicy. Nice.

Pours a hazy, very light pineapple-yellow, with minimal head. Aromas of tropical and citrus fruit. Flavor is bitter citrus, with a light sweetness, and some pine/spruce hops in the finish. Very well-done NE-style IPA.
