Mighty Arrow - New Belgium

[android]

It's back! Just picked up my first sixer of this year's Mighty Arrow this week.

me too... i finally had something to compare my "clone" to. it actually ended up remarkably similar. color was absolutely spot on, slight differences in hop character (mine was a little more amarillo forward) and i think if i mashed a little higher, it'd be uber close.

Like this one too. Picked up a sixer on Saturday. I really like the greater emphasis on Aroma rather than bitterness (SNPA, for example, seems to be slightly more bitter and/or less aromatic).

I found that it lacked the typical "New Belgium" flavor so many folks speak of, and that I personnally identify is some of their beers. If someone handed me a glass of Mighty Arrow without telling me what it is, I might not be able to guess, even after the 2 glasses I've had (though I'd probably have trouble distinguishing an APA from an American IPA unless I could do a side-by-side)

Stirring up an old thread here. But this beer is fantastic, I bought a sixer of them today and drank 3 right from the bottle while working in the garage and loved them. Very very easy to drink a few of them on a nice spring day. Albertson's had 12 packs on sale for 12.50 or something, I'm pretty sure I will have to go back this week and pick one of them up.

$12.50 a 12 pack is a good price. I live very close to Fort Collins and the New Belgium brewery. This is one my favorites beers that they brew. Another regional brewery, Odell's, puts out a seasonal they call "St. Luplin." Is is somewhat like "Mighty Arrow." I really like them both.

I just picked up a sixer at my local package store and it is a fantastic beer. I didn't read this whole thread, I hope there's a recipe some where, it's great!

I agree with the majority of people on this thread. Mighty Arrow is an amazing beer. Great layers of taste. Ah gotta love living in Fort Collins.

Drink up folks. I think we are getting close to the end of the cycle for Mighty Arrow. IIRC, New Belgium will be moving on to Skinny Dip soon.

Gonna dig this one up again as many others have before me. This is good beer.
