Commercial Description:
Often referred to as Burning River Pale Ale's big brother, this stock ale is remarkably balanced for such a highly hopped beer. A rich deep blood red color makes this beer scary enough to be served every Halloween and a few other times of the year.

Got this one bottled at the Binny’s Oktoberfest in St. Charles, Illinois. Reddish amber pour with a tan head, citrusy nose with hops and roses, citrus throughout, some carmel and malt. Really good.

4 pack of 12 ozers. This poured an amber color with two fingers of head. The head disappeared quickly with a good bit of lacing. Aroma was of citrus hops. Taste was balanced between the hops and malt. Great beer.

12oz bottle. Smelled of caramel, toffee, steeping barley, mango and citrusy hops. Poured a clear reddish-orange color. The head was light tan with an orange tint. Some lace was left behind at the end. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with toffee, toasted bread, and subdued mango flavors. Mild citrus and spruce flavors emerged and there was some alcohol at the end. The hops imparted a mild to moderate ho bitterness to round out the sugars. Not bad.

This poured a reddish amber with decent head that left nice lacing clinging to the glass all the way down. Hoppy aroma of cut grass and grapefruit; more than I was expecting, but a nice surprise. Taste was full bodied, with a sharp hop bite balanced by a malty backbone. Moderately thick mouthfeel that gave a nice finish to the drink. Overall, this was a decent beer and I would recommend it.

pours fizzy red with little head. very hoppy, not at all what i expected. very drinkable, hides the 8% very well.
