Feb 19, 2009 Growler thanks to Beerlando. Red like grenadine. Malts were very present in the smell and very smooth in the taste. Hops surprised me in the taste. Really liked this, could be enjoyed all day.

Feb 18, 2009 Growler… Clear crimson ale with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki head. Fantastic retention and thick lacework. The nose is chocolate and caramel malts intermingling with grapefruit, black tea, light pine and a suggestion of cat pee. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Well-balanced, with extremely high drinkability. Hints at cocoa and caramel with remarkably restrained pine and grapefruit essences. Short, crisp, clean finish. Fantastic session ale. One of the best, if not the very best, amber ales I’ve experienced. I could drink it all night… and live to tell about it. Huge thanks to Beerlando for skipping an Orlando Magic game in order to share this beauty with the Orlando Crew and we visitors from Vero Beach and West Palm Beach!

Feb 17, 2009 Growler courtesy beerlando. Nice purple color. Piney resinous and also sweaty hop nose. Flavor leans more to chocolate malts, the flavoring hops are a bit soapy if anything. Nicely balanced finish, but the mouthfeel thins out some.

Feb 17, 2009 Draft. Pours a deep deep red with a nice lacing tan head. Sweet malty aroma, with a candy tone. Taste is very sweet malts, candy sugar. Reminds me of those cinnamon heart candies once the cinnamon starts to dissipate. Medium to full mouth with a sticky finish. Great amber ale, my favorite to date!!

Feb 15, 2009 Stunning beer. Aroma is just perfect, great balance and texture. subtle, and with good length. tasted at alesmith and out of growler. somewhat of a weird color but it doesn’t matter. very easy to drink. this beer is to rare. should make more and bottle it. also think this would make an AMAZING beer if it was barrel aged. a little booze, oak vanilla char would set this off and be a 5.0 in my mind!

Feb 14, 2009 Tap at the brewery. Dark reddish pour. Nice dark malty aroma, very fragrent hop aroma. The flavor was more subdued on the hops, but very pleasent nonetheless. Very tasty brew.

Feb 14, 2009 Draught at Alesmith. Really wanted to try this beer and it did not disappoint. Very interesting amber ale. More hops than expected at the start but then balanced out by heavily roasted malt in the finish. Even some smoke in the end. Very unique.

Feb 10, 2009 Another one I have been wanting to try for a while. Very dark auburn to reddish brown in color. Aroma of reddish malt, lightly roasted malt, caramel, citrus and flowers. Flavor was a bit more roasted than expected. Some slightly sweet caramel with an earthy/woody finish. Some fruit elements as well. Good, but not as good as my expectations.
