GuyGirlReviews: Boulder Beer Flashback Anniversary Ale - Boulder Brewing Company

This is one of our road trip beers. We checked it out, Greg was a fan, me not so much. We had a guest for this one too, my fried Julie. Either way, here's our rating :)

Flashback Anniversary Ale is an India Brown Ale with 6.8% ABV. This is the first beer weve made here that uses one single hop variety (Cascade) in the recipe in five separate additions. The fresh Cascade hop aroma and flavor is perfectly balanced with the dark roasted grains, making Flashback a very unique beer. Were calling it an India Brown Ale to help illustrate its flavor to the consumer. Its hoppy like an IPA but dark and roasty like a Brown Ale. Put them together and voila! Flashback at its finest!

We at Boulder Beer Company are SO excited to announce the release of our 30th Anniversary commemorative beer...Flashback Anniversary Ale! Flashback will be available in 4/6/12oz cases, 15.5 gallon kegs and 5.16 gallon kegs. It will be available to ship beginning Monday, May 4th and will be available through September.

Paying homage to our roots and celebrating our milestone 30th Anniversary, we give you Flashback Anniversary Ale, an India Brown Ale single-hopped with five additions of Cascade hops. Citrusy with a prominent hop aroma, Flashback finishes clean, crisp and dry, with dark roasted flavors from the biscuit and chocolate malts perfectly complimenting the bountiful Cascades.

Flash back to 1979 and youll find two professors at the University of Colorado in Boulder longing for the full-flavored tastes of the British ales they had grown to love while traveling overseas. Testing the entrepreneurial waters with a little project called a microbrewery, they began brewing and selling a few of their own. There begins the tale of Boulder Beer Company, Colorados First Microbrewery. From the original Bitter, Porter and Stout recipes that founded our brewery to our exciting new releases, Boulder Beer continues to uphold our tradition of innovation in brewing.

Flashback Anniversary Ale is the 9th Release in our Looking Glass Series of specialty beers. Discover all of our award-winning beers at BoulderBeer.com.

Oops guess you already tried the Hazed and Infused. I thought the Flash back wasnt too intense on the hop. I got good brown ale roastyness with some citrus in the taste and a hop kick at the end.

Had this tonight and really like it. Try their Cold Hop and Hazed and Infused.

It seems like you guys only drink beer from Michigan or Colorado - what about the OTHER 48 states!!? And other countries for that matter!? ;)

Nice to see a guest reviewer, you should have her more often, if only she could get a word in edgewise ;)
