Looks nice enough. Crisp looking slightly reddish amber with a half inch off-white head. Aromas are weak: maybe slightly septic with hops and mild, mild fruit in the background. A little chewy mouthfeel, but there is little behind it. I don’t know that I’ve tried too many beers that have a gritty feel that then seem so weak in terms of taste. There is a grainy/yeasty character to the palate with a little sweet caramel, but any type of complexity is impossible for me to find. Not offensive, not something I’ll return to. Completely mediocre.

Deep translucent wine-like red-brown, thin-medium creamy off-white head. Toasty, chocolatey aroma with grapeskin notes. Sweet body with chocolate and toast, brown sugar, and prickly alcohol. Red grapes add a fruity character. A surprisingly harsh brown ale; the flavors simply don’t meld well. I’m glad I’m not drinking the entire bomber.

Slowly receding white rim over clear orange-amber beer. Hops, typical C-h’s but all the same restrained, well balanced by biscuit-like malts. Very perfumed but in the best, discreet way. Bitterish taste, nowhere extreme, grapes, sweet and dried but just before the raisin stage. C-hops and their TASTE without excess metallic bitterness. Slick MF, slightly oily; medium to full bodied. Nice, better as expected for this brewery, pleasant surprise at the Essen 2006 International tasting.

Color is nice and dark, head is soapy and looks like root beer. Aroma is very chocolatey but not very complex. Flavor is watery at first, then gives way to burnt malt, chocolate and finally oatmeal. I thought the overwhelming flavor was chocolate, rather than coffee... maybe an espresso aftertaste that develops well after tasting. This has some pretty good flavors, but really lacks a solid structure a good body and a palate that comes together. Dissappointing for a stout and for Breckenridge.

Pour is a dark brown with no head at all. I’m afraid this might have gone bad as there is no carbonation at all. Aroma is burnt malts. Flavor is again burnt malts with a touch of hops showing up in the end. Overall thin and watery.

Surely not a hefeweizen, but this is not a terrible beer. There is a light wheat taste, but that is overpowered by a strong and not unpleasant sour citrus flavor. They got the appearance right at least. I like sour beer and I am glad I at least tried this.

Draught at Breckenridge Brewery, Breckenridge, CO, October 2012, GABF week.Light brown. Citrus hops and light malt. Mild hop finish, but I did enjoy this more than I did when I tried it years ago. 12/12/2005. 5/4/6/2/12 OK aroma of herbal hops. It looks nice; dark gold and a decend sized white head. Aroma is of a light ipa. The hops need more intensity. What is there has light citrus and is fairly sour. Thin.

Meh. This has an artificial feel to it. Gold, lots of bubbles rising up to a very small but lasting head. There are several flavors but none stand out as being very good. There is light wheat, honey, and lemon. Heavily carbonated and sweet. Tastes like something from Hopback.
