COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Named for the Colorado landmark, the mountain that is the gateway to the Rockies, this deep amber ale carries a rich bready malt character with notes of caramel, fruit, citrus and spice. Balanced nicely by a clean bitterness and fresh hop character.

On tap at the brewery. Clear amber appearance with an off-white ring of foam. Aroma of caramel, toffee, earth, light fruity esters and a touch of hop spice. The flavor adds some bready malts, a touch of citrus, mild sweetness and light hop bitterness. OK.

Tap at the brewery - I think there is a decent amber ale here, but I am having a hard time tasting it because there is a distinct chemical/chlorine character washing out a lot of the toffee maltiness and leafy hops - I had a similar experience with a lot of the beer at Mu a while back - is this just a chemical they use to clean their tap lines? - anyway, I think.there is a good beer here, but I can’t get past the chemical notes - I’ll have to give it another shot in the future.
