Canyon of Heroes
American IPA
6.1% ABV
Appearance: Pours a beautiful, hazy, glowing light orange. A finger of thin frothy foam.
Smell: Soft, sweet aroma of tropical fruit. Some mango/apricot. Little bit of pine. It doesn't knock your socks off but it smells pleasant.
Taste: Pine, wheat, grain, herbal, earthy, grassy and a little malty.
Mouthfeel: Fairly light-bodied, medium carbonation. Crisp with a watery finish. As it warmed, it became progressively less enjoyable.
Overall this one disappointed me. Not nearly as good or unique as I had hoped it would be. This was brewed with Summit, Chinook, and El Dorado hops. The latter of which I had never had before and was excited to try. In the end though, nothing too exciting about this beer. It looked amazing and had a nice aroma but I wasn't a fan of the grainy, wheaty, grassy combo of flavors. It really could've used a touch of sweetness to balance it out and keep it interesting. The watery finish didn't help out either. Not a bad beer but unfortunately a pretty mediocre one. I still love you though, Half Acre.
