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 a hazy, light banana-yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has some fruit, some cheese (seriously, it smells a lot like Swiss cheese). Flavor is interesting. There's some real astringency there, with citrus, a slight sweetness, some tropical fruit, and some bite to the finish. It must be the Rakau hops, which I don't believe I've come across before. Very interesting and tasty beer and glad I have another one to savor.

Sample during Blarney Wine Festival 2018 on 03/17/2018. Slightly hazy pale golden color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruit, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow, with a small, white head. The aroma is papaya, dusty attic, agave, and leather. Sweet and fruity, with a mild, sharp bitterness. Medium body, with a grainy, acidic mouthfeel. This is a pretty nice, complex, and relatively malty IPA.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a relatively clear, pale yellow color, with a medium, fine, white head. Strong rose and juniper, with some peach and nectarines. Sweet, with not much bitterness. Medium body, with a pretty acidic, crisp mouthfeel. Aromatic and floral, and very easy.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a light, cloudy, dull yellow, with a big, frothy, white head and lots of lacing. Big tropical aromas of mango and pineapple, with some cloves and biscuit dough. Sweet and sugary, with a mellow bitterness. Light to medium body, with a creamy, pulpy mouthfeel. This is a light and aromatic IPA, without much bitterness. Well made.

Sample on draft at Trail's End. Pours a dark, ruby-brown color, with a small, beige head. The aroma is black pepper, butterscotch, burnt toast, vermouth, and syrup. Not too sweet, and sharply bitter. Heavy body, with a sharp, acidic mouthfeel. This is a strange and unpleasant beer.

Can, shared by Brian. Pours a light, cloudy orange color, with a small, fleeting head. The aroma is peach puree, sawdust, sharp pine, and rye. Sweet and fruity, with a light, pleasant bitterness. Medium body, with a pulpy, acidic mouthfeel. This is a pretty simple IPA, but delicious.

Sample at Crafty Fox during the "Good Bugs Fermentation=Flavor GABF Event" on 10/04/2017. Cloudy apricot color with a medium thick fluffy white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of funky fruit, herbal yeast, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of brett yeast, fruity hops and biscuit malt. The finish is funky with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
