Underwhelming pale-hued white-headed ale retains fluffy light-watered texture, soft grain mouthfeel and gentle hop bed, lacking both true character and a ‘real’ finish. Next!

Plain, simple, atypical Rocky Mountain ale. Its pale appearance and overly foamy head are as unassuming as conservative brewing method. Pilsner dabblers may enjoy soft grain flow and delicate malt texture, but adventurous imbibers will be disappointed. Same-named beer later brewed by Denver’s Flying Dog Brewery. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Crisply dry yellow-fruited golden ale raises strong black tea influence above raw-honeyed cracked wheat backdrop. Soapy finish slightly mars acidic lemon rind and grapefruit peel tang.

Fluffy white-headed, musty fruit-wafted, sharp hop-embittered medium body receives sugary malt initiation. Punctual barley-wheat swagger strikes fast while frisky carbolic nature subsides. Brewery defunct: 2001.

Pedestrian clear-toned light-bodied blonde places bland toasted malts and evaporative dry hops next to dainty lemon candied wisp. Mild sourdough, stale white bread, and musty cardboard illusions will appease lo-cal enthusiasts but disturb the rest.
