Steamworks Brewing, 4/18/08

Steamworks Brewing
Durango, CO
Fri. 4/18/08, 3:30pm
[open]

Typical-looking brewpub with peanut-strewn floor.

House Brews:
Conductor Imperial IPA (J)
Colorado Kolsch
Steam Engine Lager (B)
Prescribed Burn
Third Eye Pale Ale
Backside Stout
Lizard Head Red

Steam Enging Lager (multi-award winner): Amber colored. No head. Very little carbonation apparent. Faint aroma. Body is thin, but refreshing when served very cold. It's a gentle beer, non-challenging, a beginner's or summer drink-several-of-them session beer. I can see how it's won so much. It's tasty but non-threatening. Very crisp. 8.5

Conductor Imperial IPA: Medium copper color. No head to speak of. More carbonated than usual for an IPA. IBU 81 - any questions? Even with all the hops, it still has a nice malt presence. Body is just about perfect. It's very assertive an well made. 8.7
