Fort Collins Brewery Far Away IPA

The Fort Collins Brewery is, not surprisingly, in Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a 6.5% ABV India Pale Ale brewed with Cascade, Columbus, and Chinook hops, and then dry-hopped with Centennial and El Dorado.

The beer pours hazy, golden orange and dried apricot in color. There is a half inch of white head that leaves a fine curtain of lacing. The aroma is juicy, melons, citrus, tropical fruits, tangy and fruity. The taste follows the aromas, fruity, tangy, juicy, with a dry and moderately bitter finish. The beer drinks very smooth, a pleasure in the mouth. So, this won't blow your mind, but it is absolutely solid in every regard.
