I met up with my friend from the homebrew club at Great Divide, and we knew we needed to grab a bite to eat to get something in our stomachs before heading over to the Great American Beer Festival. Although I had already been to Wynkoop a couple of days ago, it seemed to be the best place to grab a bite between Great Divide and the convention center. It was also a chance to try another one of their beers, and since I was in the mile high city, I thought I’d go for their Mile HI.P.A.
It was golden in color with a slighly orange hue, and there was a thin creamy head on it, which left some nice lacing on the glass. There was a nice piney hop aroma and a slight caramel malty smell.
The body was medium and it had a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. There was a nice honey/caramel malt flavor up front before a piney and citrusy hop flavor kicked in and carried through the finish. The hop flavors stuck around for a little bit in the aftertaste and was a nice flavor.
This went very nicely with my bison burger, and I can’t think of a meal that it would go any better with. Overall, I found it to be crisp and refreshing with a good hop flavor that I enjoyed. If you visit the mile high city, I definitely recommend stopping at Wynkoop and trying the Mile HI.P.A.
