| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 20, 2008 12 oz bottle at the Bier Stein. Very attractive dark red pour with a sizable dirty white head. Pretty carbonated, but not unpleasantly so. Very tasty, almost IPA like in hoppiness and flavor, pine and citrus predominate. Dry finish. Extremely tasty especially for the style. Rciesla (3700), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

But citrus shines through for me. I really liked this beer, for the style a score. Nice malt backbone and finishes dry. Awesome beer. brianprentiss (475), Portland, Oregon, USA

The loveliest dark ruby beer I have ever seen, beige head and lacing.
Piney dryness, fruity body with cherries and plums.
Great with food, this one got the saliva running.
Not too dry, full body, grapfruit in the tail. Beerman6686 (1287), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
