Jul 14, 2008 Very good red. Full of nice bitter, refreshing hops. Body has some malt, but is still very dry. Pours red with foamy tannish head.

Jul 5, 2008 6/10/08 On draught at the Dog & Pony, Renton, Wa. Aroma is c-hop forward with a light caramel balance. Appearance is clear copper with a good white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with a slight roast sourness and a medium metallic noble-like hop bittering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium carb feel and clean finish. Overall, good complexity with a unique change in flavor balances from the aroma to the flavor.

Jun 27, 2008 I was unimpressed. Bottle from Morry’s of Naples. A large lead-up to this, and even loving all reds, I hated it. Very dry flavor with pungent hoppiness and bitter finish. No notes of fruit or sugar, nothing but a cold, sharp crack to the face. Pass.
