Tap @ High Desert. Note: this is different than the IPA and the Rye Beer. Ast the current time, they have only made a couple of batches of it. Pours a hazy orange appearance with a tan head. Orange/grapefruit citrusy, a bit floral, fairly tame aroma. Slightly spicy, soapy/floral/potpourri, orange citrusy flavor. Not bad but one of my least favorites here.

Tap @ High Desert. Pours a clear, yellow appearance with a white head. Spicy, fuzzy peach, a bit floral, fruit forward aroma. Slightly bitter, a touch grainy, peachy flavor. Probably would be refreshing on a hot day, but nit really anything special.

Earthy, slightly caramelly aroma. Nutty, toasty and lightly fruity. Ok, not super-clean this one, and underneath the dirt is nothing special I don’t think.

Amber and hazy. Herbal, hoppy, lightly spicy on the nose - some nice dry hops. Lots of rich malt, with a good dose of hop, and slight heat late. Pretty well-balanced.
