Dec 4, 2002 The beer pours a crystal clear deep garnet color, the head personable, the texture is frothy, the lace in fine clinging sheets, both a light tan in color. Nose is malt, hints of caramel, and even a slight whiff of the hops. Front is malt, the top middling. Finish is curtly acidic, the hops biting in their spiciness, dry long lasting aftertaste. Drinkable, but the body is a bit thin or watery, which detracts somewhat from the overall enjoyment. Ranks #857 on my current 1000 beer master list.
