Great Divide - Denver Pale Ale: 24

Taste: 9 Finish: 9 Visual: 3 Aroma: 3
Total: 24

Great Divide is definitely one of the best breweries in the country with Yeti & Titan. Unfortunately, Denver starts with a relatively flat pour with a mild amber color. It also has a very mild malt aroma to it with a hint of grapefruit.

Pretty good. It starts with some mild malt sweetness. At the mid tongue to the back some hops kick in. A little grapefruit. But mostly a "copper" flavor. A bit of bitterness sits on the tongue. Really, a near perfect pale ale in taste. Having just drank several Bass' last night, this is definitely a step up in flavor and retains a smooth finish. A great bar beer or one for watching the game while downing wings and chili.
