What the hell, Boulder? Pretty dreadful in every regard; pours a decent clear amber but gives up no head whatsoever, and the nose comes closer to a bad macro pilsner than a fruit IPA, grainy with a soured mildew backdrop. Taste has barely any blood orange; should be called a corn IPA. Grainy and sweet, with nary a hop or citrus to be found, keeping its cereal sugariness throughout and finishing with the slightest inkling of an orange tartness, although this could be wishful thinking. Even the texture feels off, slack and undercarbonated. Bad. Very, very bad.

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt orange to amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Sly sticky lace.
The aroma had some semi-sweet bready to biscuity malts with a mild soapiness. Grassy and earthy hop bitterness.
The flavor stays true to the aroma, semi-sweet with a subtle bitterness. Mild flowing hops to malts aftertaste with the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionable sort of feel. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, this was definitely an English pale ale throughout and I could see myself coming back to if I could get it again.

Bottled (MT/KS/MB February tasting). Amber colour with a small off-white creamy longlasting head. Aroma is citrus, some mild fruits, nectar, mild spices and some sweet malts. Flavour is slightly toasted sweet malts, some fruity and floral bitterness along with a resiny and wooden finish. Easy going and easy to drink.

Wow...the first chocolate beer I've had in ages, and surely the best. I might have to find some others...
Not sweet, but super velvety.

Tangerine, pencil shavings, and passionfruit aroma. Significant DMS on the nose. Clear amber, huge sticky yellow head. Tart and bitter orange, badly vegetal. Medium body, moderate carbonation, resinous. Serious infection. Probably would have been pretty good otherwise.
