Our next beer (another brief departure from my month of darker beers) comes from the Bristol Brewery in Colorado Springs. A great little place I had the pleasure of visiting in May - When I was there, they had the Compass IPA on Cask.
It pours a honey color with a big head.
The aroma is mild grapefruit and citrus with mild yeast.
It is creamy with a medium body. Very smooth with a nice earthy hop that arrives toward the finish. The bitterness builds at the end - it's an easy drinker.
The aftertaste is bitter on the tongue lingering for awhile...
The cask mellow the bitter edge of the beer and it makes for a nice velvety beverage.
Cheers!
