Apr 1, 2009 1ltr bottle from O’Brien’s. Pours a lightly cloudy copper color with a 1 inch think beige head, spotty lacing was left on the Orval Trappist glass. Nose was quite sweet with dark fruits, honey and toffee. Flavor was sweet with toffee being the dominant factor, light hops and dark fruits in there as well. I really dug this brew, way underrated in my opinion.

Oct 24, 2008 Pours out red with thick creamy head. Taste is sweet and spicey. Nice malt and hop balance. Subtle bitterness. Smooth finish. Not the typical aggressive west coast double red. Very tasty brew.

Sep 24, 2008 Bronze red pour with a lightness to it. Detectable citrius with dough yeast wiffs. Caramel malt flavor with some citrusy hop balance. Pretty good beer.

Aug 25, 2008 Aroma is a roasted malt scent with some hop tones. Color is a bright amber with a slight haze, very good carbonation and a thick tight head. Taste is malty and crisp. Starting with a medium body it goes down smooth yet with a crisp feel. Finish comes in malty and slightly sweet then a little hop flavor with a hint of bitterness. After taste is clean with the bitterness hanging around a bit. This is a really good brew its easy drinking and well balanced.

Sep 17, 2008 1 litre waxed swing top bottle which took fifteen minutes to open. Clear amber with a frothy light tan head, nice lacing. A mild aroma is spicy herbal hop. Medium body with a creamy smooth mouthfeel. Good flavor is grainy malt grist with light caramel. Has a subtle herbal hop sweetness to finish. Pretty nice beer here, though the bottle is a pain in the ass to open.

Jan 13, 2009 Appearance: Pours a hazed, deep reddish body with a thin, bubbly, whitish head.
Smell: Aroma smelling of gently toasted malts, a hint of caramel, some fruitiness, and floral, spicy Noble hops.
Taste: Light caramel over toasted grains with a single pinch of basic table sugar. Light apricot fruitiness. Floral, faintly spicy hops with a mellow bitterness. Small touch of alcohol ushers in the bittersweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A bit of a gaudy presentation for what is a basic, though well-balanced and reasonably enjoyable red. Just glad I wasn’t on the wax-removing crew.

Jan 5, 2009 Retarded 1L wax dipped bottle. Why, WHY do we have to wax dip swing top bottles? This annoyance aside, this was a nice malty, hoppy beer. Pretty typical for the style, but tasty nonetheless.
