Great Divide Titan IPA, Denver, Colorado
This is a great example of how integrated an IPA can be.
Some brews in this category are over the top with bitterness.
Titan IPA is well crafted and offers complicated flavors, beyond the bitter.
Notes of freshly cut pine bows, orange zest, hints of tomatillos,
and perfume are layered on a sweet canvas.
It offers ample hoppy flavor,
for those of us that seek the pungent flavors of these aromatic flowers.

Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale
There are those of us that would rather pass on having a beer,
rather than drink one out of a can.
When I first heard about Oskar Blues I was so skeptical.
When I tasted Dale's Pale Ale and Old Chub I was completely won over.
Micro quality beer in a can, without the sour, metalic can flavor.
Dales Pale Ale is a hop-heads dream.
Bitter sweet flavors of American hops, notes of pine, zesty notes of tangerine citrus,
and a long lingering brisk finish.
Allow it to warm up a touch and experience a wonderful sweet malty mid-palate.
Refreshing and convenient, keep a 12 pack on hand.
Where to find this beer:
County Line, Superior Liquor
Old Chub Scotch Ale Where Dale's Pale Ale is racy and hopy,
Old Chub is smooth and creamy.
Notes of toffee and a smokey, roasted grain flavor.
Hints of dark chocolate and orange marmalade on the finish.
Could compete against bottled Scotch ales without a handicap. -BF

Breckenridge Trade Mark Pale Ale
A refreshing brew with the smooth, sweet flavor of pale malt.
Reminescent of fresh cut hay, citrus and a hint of caramel.
Lots of hoppy flavor creates a slightly metalic note with hints of pine.
The sweet flavors are a good balance for the prominent hoppy bitterness.

I'm still waiting on that guy from Breckenridge to get back to me. *Sigh*

Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale, Denver, Colorado
This is a creamy, elegant ale.
Yeasty flavors are finished by a clean apple-like flavor and a slightly malty-honey note.

A tasty crowd pleaser that offers thirst-quenching opportunities.

Flying Dog Imperial Porter ~ Extra Special Gonzo, Denver, Colorado
This commemorative brew won a silver metal at the 2005 Great American Beer Festival.
It is rich, with notes of caramel, baked cranberry cobbler, and roasted coffee beans.
The floral presence is a savory compliment to the rich malty flavors;
delighful spice from the Cascade hops offers a bright,
acidic quality that smacks of exotic blossoms.

Flying Dog Amber Lager, Colorado
Caramel canvas with that classic larger clarity offers some tangerine hints on the finish.
There's a slight nutty flavor with a hint of allspice.
The hops offer a complimentary facet, while still keeping the brew clean and refreshing.
You might confuse this one with an ale, but the crisp flavors is a dead give away.
