#253 Boulder Beer - Single Track Copper Ale

Boulder Beer is Colorado's first Microbrewery opened in 1979 by two Colorado University Professors, receiving the 43rd brewing license issued in the United States. Today Colorado is known for a number of Microbreweries Fly Dog, Left Hand, New Belgium and many others.

There is a hint of honey on the nose of the beer, otherwise this beer has no aroma. The color is a light orange little lighter than what is normally called copper. The beer is very clear like looking through glass with a light tint. The head pours thick and has a decent retention.

This beer has a bitter taste with no hop flavor to back it up. There is a hint of sweetness that is quickly covered by the strange bitter taste. The mouthfeel is very thin, and watery. The finish is bitter and unpleasant.

This is not a good beer it is watery with a bitter taste and not hops. THis is made by Colorado's first microbrewery, I am glad the other breweries came along.
