Aug 11, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to OldStyleCubFan my summer santa! Smooth and ejoyable summer beer. A nice deep red color with a thin white head. Aroma of spicy hops mostly fresh simcoe hops with some malt sweetness coming through. Moderate grapefruit tea and earthy flavors round to a soft sweet caramel ending. Medium bodied and smooth, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Thanks again OSCF! Go Cubbies!

Aug 10, 2008 Very hazy amber pour, with a soapy head, and loads of large sediment flakes floating around - huge, earthy amarillo hops aroma, with undercurrents of pine, and sweet hints of caramel, oats, brown sugar - the flavor is slightly oxidized, so this may be a somewhat old bottle (though it has only been on the shelf at my local store for about 3 weeks) - very strong bitterness that manages not to become astringent, despite the fact that the beer never gets particularly sweet - very resinous and piny - the malt base is mostly biscuit/cracker-like in character, with just a light hint of caramel sweetness - nicely balanced despite its assertive bitterness.

Aug 8, 2008 Really one of the better ambers out there but I have to say still not the same as my Seattle Fav Mac & Jacks. Pours chunky amber with a giant head. that turns rocky. Aroma is piny hops. Flavor is slightly bitter, caramel sweetness and piny finish. Nice combo of IPA with an amber. Very good

Aug 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep brown, viscus, with a thick creme colored head that laces on fade. Impressive hop aroma that chokes out any hint of malt. Medium body, with a strong hop bite that carries through to the finish. Piny resin is the distinguishing hop flavor. Very dry finish.

Aug 7, 2008 Interesting take on a red ale. Crisp malt base, caramel, with nicely balanced hops. Not too bitter, but good.

Aug 6, 2008 Lots of malt and hops. Caramel, citrus/pine resingy thick and slightly sticky. Like a solid west coast IPA but withthe malt instead of hops tipping the balance.
