Contributor Review By Meg

Tommyknocker Brewery is located in Idaho Spring, right off the Main Street. It’s a great place to stop while you’re heading up the mountains or even for a fun afternoon. As an award-winning brewery and a Colorado institution, Tommyknocker’s usually gets fairly good reviews. So unfortunately I have to say that their Pick Axe IPA is not one of my favorites.

Visual: Dark amber in color and cloudy

Aroma: Mildly hoppy

Taste: Hint of citrus with a very dry finish. It comes across as a little bland, the flavor’s aren’t too complex. It’s good if you’re looking for a run of the mill IPA, but it’s lacking that extra kick that I’m looking for in my IPA.

ABV: 6.2%

Overall Beer Rating:     6 out of 10 spades
