| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 29, 2009 12 oz bottle from John’s - Has quite a nice aroma, but the taste is a bit disappointing. It’s kind of like the first time you try vanilla extract. It smells way better than it tastes. Oscbert (547), Sacramento, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2009 ~Pours a murky brownish red color with big lasting fluffy off white head.
~Good floral hop scent with lots of sweet maltiness. Smells like an IPA.
~Bitter hop taste, spicy floral hops. Mellow malts in the taste. I like, seems to be an IPA to me.
~Medium feel, dusty, dry hop finish.
~ A delicious treat. Pretty IPAish to me. Interesting brew. joeyplush (337), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Dark cloudy red/amber color. Nice tan head. Hoppy aroma balanced with roasted malt.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 26, 2009 Yum. My favorite (but expensive) red ale. I love the carmel, the bitterness of the hops, the carmel and toasted nutty flavor. Yum. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2009 The pour reveals a clear amber color with a medium tan head. Very good aroma of piney, citrusy and resinous hops. Solid flavor of piney, citrusy and resinous hops with some malt and a bitter finish. The body is light with a creamy texture and soft to medium carbonation. Very nice, one of the best amber ales I’ve had so far. Brewbie (223), New York, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 23, 2009 Excellent red. Appearance is perfect for the style - deep, cloudy amber with solid head and lacing. Aroma is strong, but mostly malt and caramel. Flavor is awesome. It’s hoppy, malty, sweet caramel to start and a bitter hop finish. Good stuff.
