Description
Breckenridge Brewery opened its doors in 1990 in the mountain town of Breckenridge, Colorado. It’s the third-oldest craft brewery in the state. In 1992, our second brewpub in downtown Denver opened. In the summer of 2015 a new production brewery was opened in Littleton. After 26 years, the focus is still on creating well-balanced, approachable, and interesting beers while also creating memorable visitor experiences. In 2016 Breckenridge Brewery became a unit of AB InBev.

Crystal clear dark copper color with a thick and foamy off-white head. Thick lacing too. Aroma of hops and pine. Medium-bodied with a dry character. Lots of piney hops and citrus with a good malt backbone. The finish is nicely hopped and citrusy with a lingering sweetness. Pretty good, actually.

Draught at Breckenridge Brewery, Breckenridge, CO, October 2012, GABF week. Score improved slightly, still not a great beer. Light grain and some yeast, but very little flavor or aroma. 6/2/2005 3/3/3/2/9. Brown. Lightly hopped with a bitter taste, in fact this might be better classified as a bitter. Unremarkable but no noticeable flaws.

Slightly hazy straw-colored body, thin off-white head. Wheaty aroma (wet hay, a touch of citrus, and a touch soapy). Sharply carbonated, tangy palate, with light wheat citrus notes. Overall, fairly thin and nondescript. This beer scores "adequate."

Sampled at MrFacto’s ’Tosa tasting, courtesy 1FastSTi. Dark brownish body with red highlights, thin/medium cream head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, and touches of brown sugar and caramel. Toasty body with chocolate and brown sugar, quite light, with hints of diacetyl. Thin-bodied. Eh...

Thanks to Indra for this! Pours clear and dark brown, looking much like a Brown Ale. 1" head of off white head that recedes quickly. Malt and citrus with some smoke in the background of the aroma. Sweet, without a great deal of bitterness, very light body. Pleasant, easy drinking beer which hides it’s alcohol well. Just not a lot of excitement with this one.

Malt and alcohol aroma. Standard strong ale appearance, dark with a red hue. Flavors of malt, alcohol, light spice, and sugar. Sweeter than many strong ales. Thin body.

Slightly hazy blonde golden coloured body with bright orange tints and very little of an off-white head-the beer looks still! Bright grapefruit hops in the aroma with malt and some sugars. Light-bodied; Mild malt flavour with wheat & a very small amount of hops showing through! Aftertaste clrean & fresh, but not great, as it is so bland! Overall, not recommended at all-pas this one up for a real summer beer! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle purchased at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 28-August-2004 at the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

(draught) Jet black; dark brown good head. Notes of coffee in the nose and oatmeal detectable, some burnt malts. Taste: impression of writing ink - weird. Quite bitter for an oatmeal, many roasted and burnt notes. Oatmeal seems to make it more bodied than it really is. I keep getting a thinnish texture in the end. Somehow the beer is OK in itself, but I think it is not quite up to style.

(draught) Very dark, deep chestnut; good brownish head. Very malty, dark malts, sweet chocolate in the nose. Again chocolate flavours, some roasted hints, sugared coffee. Well-bodied, sweetness is present in the mouthfeel - corn? Far from bad, but just not clean-tasting enough for the style IMO.

(draught) Pitch-black; greige dense head. Burnt/roasted barley, sulphury nose. Taste is meaty, yeasty and roasted barley. Soy sauce Japanese style, but less salty. Fleeting glimpse of buckwheat-flour. Full-bodied, on the verge of oily. OK Stout. Looks are more Guinness-like than the taste - well, OK.
