This is our second review of a Great Divide beer and one of the beers we did with the cheese pairings. It pours a faint honey color that is very clear with little carbonation and a small disappearing head. The pale ale gives of a piney hop aroma with a very light sweet scent. The taste is orange and spicy with little to no sweetness and the flavor lingers long on the tongue.
This English Style Pale Ale is 5.4% ABV
73.125 / 100 Overall

So... how did this beer pair with the cheeses in our cheese trial? See results below:
Muenster: No - the pairing muted the flavor of both cheese & beer
Smoked Gouda: Maybe
cheddar: No - the two flavors didn't work together at all
Gorgonzola: Yes - Removed the bitter from the beer and made it sweet & refreshing. Almost made a Pale Ale remind you of a Hefeweizen
Blue: Yes - Same effect as the gorgonzola
Cheers!
