Can from Corti Bros. Pours coppery gold with a white head. Small head. Aroma of slightly cooked fruits with some roasty malt. Nearly full bodied. Flavor of slightly roasty malt and some non-cooked smooth stone fruits and citrus. There's a burn - be it ABV or hop. A nice, soft burn. I begin to think there's some tropical fruits in it. I see it as dry, despite discernible malt. Hoppy, tho not really dank. Made me think tho. Deadly easy drinker. A lot more could be described, but ... I started doubtfully and came to really enjoy it!

Dark body with tan head. Maple syrup and sweet chocolate aroma. Sweet flavour. Sweet finish. Have a slurp of Syzzurp.

Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with a relatively large, three centimetre tall, billowy, super-white head that stays afloat for quite a while. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, orange and some bittered herbal and perfumey hop notes throughout that show a lot of bite in the nose and a touch of alcohol, with no perceived sweetness at all. Medium-bodied; Pungent orange, curacao, grapefruit and papaya flavours with a more deep and astute fruit-based sweetness near the front, but soon followed by the supportive malts and grain and a heavy flavour of alcohol on the finish. Aftertaste shows mostly the hop notes with the citrus and fruits front and centre and a dash of malt and grainy flavours towards the end - but the hops dominate, in a good way. Overall, a relatively strong and fruit-focused IPA with a good bitterness and a smooth finish that does have some alcohol, but remains quite clean. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Hy-Vee in Omaha (Papillion), Nebraska on 06-November-2018 for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Inner Harbour, Baltimore, Maryland on 11-December-2018.

Thin texture hinders an otherwise nice porter. Chocolate, caramel, and mocha form a nice front, while the back end grows spiced and dry, with notes of chai and cinnamon leading to a modest bitterness on the finish. Not bad.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours extremely dark brown black (light doesn’t penetrate) with a creamy tan head. Aroma is very maple. Sweet maple. Maple syrup. Med body or perhaps a bit more. Flavor is maple, not so sweet as syrup. If the only choices were dry and sweet I’d be stumped. There’s malt, and it’s somewhat chocolate, but got to keep the concentration or it’s just maple and malt! This is rather amazingly, nicely done.

Boulder Due East IPA was discovered in Santa Fe, NM and brought home for a try. The 12 oz can gets paired with a heavy bar mug and Eastbound and Down by Midland because I felt like it. Delivery is straw yellow topped by a plentiful head of white foam. The scent is a pleasant citrus, mango and pine needles. A drink gives something more aggressive, I get a touch of lemon and grapefruit, a decent amount of pininess, strongly hoppy and bitter. Little of the NE style to me but not bad at all.

12 oz. can purchased in Frisco, Colorado. Pours a clear, very light yellow color with a tiny white head and poor retention. No lacing. Almost no aroma. Has a pale lager flavor with just a hint of hops in the finish. Very flat mouthfeel. Medium body. Clean, easy drinking.
