Shaker pint draft at Great Divide Denver Airport Taphouse & Kitchen at the Denver, Colorado airport. The pour is a slightly hazed yellow golden with a small foamy white head that is pretty lasting. The aroma is soft resin, malt, and a bit of alcohol heat. The taste is the sweet malt, nice resin, bit of citrus and finishes warming with alcohol heat, though decently integrated. The palate is medium bodied, light carbonation and lingering resin and warming alcohol. Solid, though I remember liking the original better.

Can - grocery store beer! - on sale for 10.99 a six pack! - I mistakenly bought this thinking it was regular Hercules - hazy gold - really sweet nose and flavor - sugary almost - with bright tropical notes and a somewhat pithy finish, with apparent alcohol in the flavor - very sweet finish - meh - wish they’d bring back Old Ruffian instead of putting their effort into stuff like this.

The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, slightly oily, roasty, dark chocolate, light oily, earthy, herbal, liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

OMG, another good beer that has left our area. Well it was good will it lasted. This is one of the few hoppy beers that I really love. Not that it had a strong hop flavor but it was very noticeably .
