I had an eye opener once while in Estes Park. We were ordering at a
restaurant and I asked what they had in an IPA and they said Dale's Pale
Ale. Well, OK, I said. She brings it in a can! I thought OMG. It was
incredibly good at that moment. On a return visit to Denver, I found a
place that had it on tap. Still, very good, but New Belgium's Ranger
IPA is a bit more bitter, hoppy, and flavorful to my taste. Colorado
used to be known for Coors -- bleccckkkk! Bass seems like weak tea to
these forementioned, but I like it from time to time as I think it's
where I got the taste for the stuff.
