Great Divide Denver Pale Ale

Great Divide Denver Pale Ale is an English Pale Ale.

This beer pours with a beautiful pale golden color. The smell is a bit muted, not too much to say about it, maybe just a bit of sweet grain. The taste profile is that of a solid, malt forward, English style Pale Ale. It’s a bit grainy with a nice helping of bready malt character. Hints of sweet toffee compliment a nice bit of hop bitterness as well.

Here is a great example of why you need to re-visit beers from time to time. I was not a big fan when I first had it several years ago, but I must of had a bad or REALLY old bottle. Even though this isn’t the kind of beer style I reach for a lot, I will certainly stop avoiding this beer like I had been!
