Aug 24, 2008 not much head aand lacing, pours medium brown to red, very citrusy nose, heavy rye tang at first taste with the hop bitterness settling in as you drink, modest roast flavor is overwhelmed by the citrus hops.

Aug 21, 2008 [1587-20080816] 355mL bottle. Grainy hoppy malt aroma has a hint of fruit. Hazy, brown amber body with quick bubbles. Fresh grainy hops flavour has a rye-like booziness. Medium body. Seems simple.

Aug 18, 2008 bottle- disappointing tea like taste and mouthfeel. not the spice I was looking for. Hops not present. Oxidized. Perhaps this was a older bottle, so I would try it again, but very unimpressed.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours with a light brown, creamy head covering a clear red body with some particles. Grat lacing. Aroma of malts, currants, some caramel and rye. Taste is sweet and malty with a nice hop bite. Tastes like an imperial red but with less alcohol. Lively bubbles. Great beer.

Aug 13, 2008 On tap at Founders. A great red colour with a lasting off-white head. Strong rye kick with bitter hoppy followup. A great beer.

Aug 6, 2008 Pours clear dark red with a fizzy light brown. Aroma is lightly malty, heavily hoppy of grass, pine and lemons, yeasty of leather, apples and toffee. Flavor has great balance, hoppy grapefruit in flavor dominates with rye in background, finish is hoppy. Medium bodied creamy and softly carbonated.
