Pint can - lightly hazy orange - pretty classic west coast dips - thick, frothy head - dank, resinous, highly citric, with deep pine bitterness through the back end - just enough malt heft and sweetness to sustain before a bittersweet finish - a dipa like grandma used to make!

Bottle - bottling date of 3/28/22 - clear light gold - pours looking totally still, resembling a white wine - nose of tart apple cider, sauv blanc, deep oak, a background acetic punchiness - fuller in the mouth than I was expecting - super dry - lots of grape and apple skin and oak - very light background funk, light lacto tartness, and just enough acetic acid on the tail end - light buggy funk and a slight peachy sweetness on the very end to balance the finishing acetic punch - dang balanced and tasty - giving me Cuvée de Castleton vibes.

Bottle - clear dark ruby, moderate lace - creamy texture - presents more like a dubbel - medium-dry and nutty at first, followed by a moderate malt richness on the tail end, with some dusty yeast character that gives strong Westmalle vibes - the well-masked alcohol and medium-full body contribute to the more dubbel-like presentation - a wee bit of dark fruit (raisin and plum) - moderate spice - strong bitterness on the tail end is far too high for the style - it’s not the greatest rendition of the style, but hits enough of the right notes to satisfy, even if not as a quad.

Bottle - lightly hazy dark gold - nose is yeasty, spicy, moderately estery - soft carbonation - flavor is medium sweet, but then dries out him the finish, which has a moderate bitterness and lively peppery spice - light minerality - moderate fruity esters and a floral bitterness throughout that is complimented by the peppery phenols at the end - those threaten to become too much on the tail end, but avoid getting abrasive - just a tad too sweet, but otherwise a solid rendition.

8/10 Setting 8 Selection 8 Service 8 Food Value 8 Overall 8
Decent sized modern taproom in that charming little “under the overpass” little town square thing in downtown (if you know, you know) - pretty cast assortment of beers, about 2/3 of which are wild and sour ales - pretty much all of those have fruit additions, but they are all solid - 4 ounce pours available - they also have some lager and ipa for folks who don’t want sours - lots of bottles for sale to-go and the common Casey high prices, but the quality is undeniable - good service - no real food, but surrounded by restaurants - great little spot and Glenwood Springs is such a cute little mountain town.

Can - lightly hazy gold - soft carbonation, fill in the mouth - dry and crisp, but with a complex herbaceous profile and full earthy honey flavor without the associated sweetness, giving it a light funky note - really good.

12 ounce can - dark ruby, nearly black - nose is heavy char, maple, cinnamon, vanilla - thick, chewy mouthfeel - the maple from the barrel and the cinnamon dominate - underlying notes of caramelized sugars, treacle, dark fruit, the faintest hints of oxidation - I think there might be a pretty good barleywine hiding under there, but it’s hard to tell.
