    A great pale ale with a pleasing amount of hoppiness. Slightly tart, dry like a french wine, and thicker than you’d expect.

    In my mind, the entire pale ale style is more of a workhorse — it’ll get the job done, but it’s rarely capable of greatness. I’d stop short of saying this one is the exception, but it’s certainly a surprisingly good beer for a pale ale.

    Characteristics: dry hoppy tart

    This was a reliable choice when I lived in Denver. I’m not sure if it was because of the flavor (tasty, easy) or the cool label artwork.

    Great flavor, and for being a bit dry it goes down smooth.

    I’ve been drinking this beer a lot lately, and I would say it’s my new favorite beer.

    I’m not a huge pale ale fan, but this one is consistently the best I’ve had. Tasty, crisp and a great aftertaste.

    I cocncur with my 97 Bottles Colleagues on this one. I’m not a huge Pale Ale fan, but this is a pretty good beer.

    Deep golden amber color, minimal head. There is a sweet aroma with a hint of hops. The taste is well-balanced between malt and hops, with a crisp, surprisingly smooth finish.

    Characteristics: crisp golden hoppy
