About
Founded as the Boulder Brewing Company in 1979 as the first craft brewery in Colorado; it started brewing the following year. In 1990, the company changed its name to Boulder Beer Company. In 1993 the company again renamed itself as the Rockies Brewing Company. In 2005, the company again changed its name back to the Boulder Beer Company.
In January 2020 the brewpub closed but through a new partnership with Sleeping Giant Brewing Company in Denver, who will continue to brew, package and distribute the Boulder Beer brands to the retail market, the brand will stay alive.

Hazed & Infused Pale Ale from Boulder Beer Company
11 years ago
6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Massive citrus aroma jumps out of the bottle upon releasing the cap. Overt aromas of pine and resin. Moderate amounts of citrus and stone ground cracker malts. Mostly clear copper with a full off-white head. Bottom of the bottle has a fair amount of trub to muddle the clarity. Flavor leans toward caramel malts. Slight cardboard. On the back of the palate, there is moderate low citrus.

4.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 2 Overall 4
Bottled at SBWF. Clear copper colour, rich head. Estery nose with bubblegum and alcohol. Sweet with medium body and clean moutfeel. Boozy and sterile with low bitterness. With it hard mouthfeel, heavy booziness and low drinkability it is as about as far detached from the what oktoberfestbier is about as can get.

3.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 2 Overall 3.5
Bottled at SBWF. Dark brown, coarse head. Chocolate sauce dominates from nose to finish. Sweet with medium, body and clean mouthfeel. Metallic finish. To use as ice cream topping, or to serve to hipsters that don’t like beer but want to pose with a cool bottle anyway. Souther Tier-ish.

Bottle at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 1 - London. Pours clear amber-gold with a foamy white head. Fairly OK amber pale ale with mildly astringent herbs, orange peel, pine. Medium sweetness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes sweet with lightly toasted pale malts. So so.

4.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
From a can smell simply like good beer, almost cabbage like some lagers but not. Pale yellow. First taste is fairly smooth, has a tad of a medicinal feel to it. Decent carbonation but not really lively as stated in the description. Does lack many ill ale attributes that I’ve become familiar with and I’m thankful for that. Not too bad overall.

Almost opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry. Light minerally crispness. Good cocoa chocolate, touch of cocoa bitterness. Mildly tangy fruit. Semi dry finish. A choccy cocoa beer, feels slightly gimmicky.

Bottle courtesy of rlgk. Pours dark brown with a rather small frothy beige head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet with sweet bread, chocolate milk, hay and soil. Taste is sweet and slightly bitter with bread, chocolate milk, hay, soil, vanilla and hints of coffee. Mouthfeel is soft, watery and light bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and bitter with chocolate milk, vanilla, soil and hay. Too heavy on the chocolate milk. --- Beer merged from original tick of Shake Chocolate Porter on 18 Oct 2014 at 13:35 - Score: 6

Opaque black color with a small tan head. How how really sweet candy fruity aroma. Fine body, but a bit to sweet. Chocolate, candy, fruity, vanilla and some spices. Way to sweet for me!
