Sep 14, 2007 From notes 12/29/2006. Pours a dark orange brown with a tan head. Heavy on the hops on the nose. Sweet, citrusy, and a slight touch of smoke. Also smells like chewed bubble gum. Flavor is heavy with hops, but lacking in elegance. Probably pushed just a bit too far I’d say. You get a slight punch in the mouth from the expected hop influece, but it isn’t rounded out at all. Feel is decent. Nice level of carbonation, but there is so much put into this one, that it makes it heavy and thick on the tongue. Drinkable, sure. It’s a pretty good brew (that is actually better when it is not cold).

Apr 22, 2005 A mild hop and tea aroma. Pours a medium/dark amber body with a rocky, off-white head. The flavor is carmel and toast with a hop finish that has a tea taste. Medium body. Would definately make a good session brew. Thanks Crosling!

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.

Apr 15, 2003 Awesome. Pours a decent amber color with a thick off-white head. The aroma was a gorgeous sweet (sugar, toffee, caramel) grapefruity, citrusy character. The flavor was much of the same, but not nearly as bitter as the aroma would let you expect. Nice crisp, yet creamy feel. I am really impressed with this beer. I think it is a real standout among amber ales.

Jan 8, 2003 unsurprising hoppy aroma, orange/red tint, caramely and hoppy at the same time refreshing and crisp

Jun 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice amber. Nice pointed hop to this one, malt backbone is very nice. Nice balance and an easy session drink.

Apr 5, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep red with a lasting thick white head. Floral hoppy aroma, with a touch of banana. Nice flavour, with toffee notes among the hoppiness. Lasting hop finish.
