Bright hop aroma with hints of yeast in the nose as well. Slight crispness with a pleasant brightness of hops. Moderate malt presence that’s not all pale malt, but isn’t caramel-y either. Yeast comes in with a drying sweep to the palate, leaving a slight hop bitterness that is pleasing.
Sweet caramel malt aroma, almost like strawberries. Slightly crisp bite followed by good amounts of caramel malt sweetness, then some nice clean grain taste mixed in. Finishes fairly smooth with mild hop flavors lingering.
Mild, but deep caramel malt aroma with slight hop aroma. Bite is crisp, and then complex and tasty malt flavor floods the palate. Moderate hop flavor towards the back end, which gets replaced with a dry malty finish.
Light amber malt aroma, with hints of hops. Slightly crisp taste, then good mix of caramel malts and hops, all in nice balance. Aftertaste is steady, moderate hop flavors. Very nice, would be interested to see how much better it was fresher.
Strong sweet fruity hop aroma. Smooth on the palate, with mouthful of hop flavor. Then fades smoothly to mild hop flavor combined with yeast sweetness and pale malt. Slight orange-y aftertaste.
Bright hop aroma. Taste has a slight crispness, then full rush of multiple hop flavors. Super flavorful, but not bitter. Slight fruity twang in aftertaste that fades to varying hop flavor medley with a bit of yeast dryness.
Aroma is bright and hoppy work flowery and dank hop aromas. Taste has good strong hop flavor, but no bitter bite. A bit of caramel malt flavor, as well as yeast, finishing with moderatetaste of all 3- hops, malt, and yeast.
Slightly sweet aroma of malts, hints of dark malt. Very smooth on the palate, but very low carbonation level out of the can so this could be affecting it. Nice blend of malt tastes, with hops hanging just out of reach, but seems like the bitterness bite helps clear the palate. Aftertaste is one of smooth creaminess. Super tasty.
No date on the can, but bought in Colorado, not far from Crested Butte. And this Stout was the predominant offering from this brewery at the liquor store where bought, so may be popular and get good turnover.
Bright aroma of citrusy hops. Taste is fairly mild without an initial hop bite. Flavor then rushes in full of hops with some moderate maltiness in background. Hop flavor fades slowly into a long lingering hop aftertaste.
Canned on 9/10/2025, drank on 2/21/2026, so at 5 months not that great for an IPA. Would love to try this fresher.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
