Commercial Description:
This ale is made with a special roast of caramel malt, which gives it a lovely red hue and subtle caramel flavor. A large amount of hops is added late to the kettle and the fermentor, giving this beer a wonderful floral nose with hints of nectar and citrus carrying through to the palate. 23.6 IBU, 16.35 Plato, 7.65%

Tasted during the San Diego Fesival of Beer. Reddish color with smallish off-white head. Decent citrus aromas. Flavors were a little more toasted, with a nice hoppy finish. Not too bad

Auburn red in color with a small white head. Aroma of toasty caramel malt and a little bit of Pacific Northwest Hops. Nice caramel malt flavors. Not too sweet though. A little toasty malt too. Finish is mildly hoppy. Probably more crisp than anything. A nice amber ale. Probably the best thing I have had from this brewery.

Pours a fantastic deep red color. Big malty aromas and flavors. Nice big bitter finish. Excellent.

Sampled out of a bottle from BevMo. Has a mellow aroma with slight hoppy textures. Appearance is a rich amber. Mouthfeel is nice, but flavor leads a little to be desired.

Copper color with characteristic Blue Frog fine-toothed head. Aroma of toffee, lightly roasted coffee and light citrus hops. Flavor of intense caramel, lightly herby/grapefruity hops. Finishes substantially bitter. Quite pleased with this one.

Bottle. Aroma of malt and citrus. How good is that! Reddish amber color. No noticeable head. Flavor of malt, hint of strawberry, bit of wet paper, hops are present, but the malt rules. It really drinks well.

5 ounce sample tasted at the Fair Oaks Brewfest. Musty, yeasty, sweet, candy sugar aroma. A touch of ethanol is also present. Seems way off for the style. Not the best aroma. May be due to the plastic cup, though. Amber body with a small off-white head. Very malty, somewhat sweet flavor, which finishes with lots of peaty flavors. Drinkable and tasty. This is kind of like a lighter-colored baby scotch ale. Tasty.

Draft. Rich amber beer with a nice off-white head. Caramel and roasty malt flavor backed with citrus hops. Nice balance. Light malty aroma.
