doubleo (743), San Diego, California, USA Feb 12, 2008 On-tap at Stone 2/11/08. Pours reddish brown with a moderate white head, decent lace. Smells of sweet red fruit up front, then sweet hoppy, then malty. Tastes just the same as it smells. Medium body, active carbonation.
beergod! (6), Houston, Texas, USA does not count Aug 28, 2008 Bottle into pint glass. This beer pours nicely nice size head. Very nice dark amber color, scent is of citrus piney predominantly. Nice hoppy flavor that is perfectly balanced with a perfect amount of malt. Payed about 11 bucks a six pack and I’d do it again!!! tripelthreat (14), Soquel, California, USA Aug 27, 2008 Bottle. The usual reddish amber with a nice off-white head. Initial soft piney hop aroma with a touch of maltiness. Flavor is mostly piney hops with some roast and caramel malts in the background. Some light lacing left in the glass. An nice choice for an easy-to-drink IPA/IRA. 502Flavors (219), Kentucky, USA Aug 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle into pint glass. Great clear dark copper color with a big frothy light tan head. Very balanced resinous hop aroma with a trace of malt in the background. The flavor is simple - all hops. There is a bit of a unique after taste on the finish that I cant really put my hands on, but I would personally call this one an IPA. The flavor is mostly resinous pine hops - nice and refreshing. Medium to light bodied on the palate with little to no carbonation. Overall: great simple (session worthy) beer. grant (759), Martinez, California, USA Aug 23, 2008 Standard red-orange color, long-lasting medium piled head. Nicely roasty, milk-chocolatey aroma, spiky, skunky hops. Malty but balanced body, lots of cookie-like malts, moderate hop flavor. Acidic, citric hop notes balance it out. Very well balanced beer - delicious. HopBackDoc (332), Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 21, 2008 Pours a deep garnet color with off-white head. Aroma is hops! Flavor is well balanced with some caramel malts and loads of hops. Earthy, resiny, piney hop flavors tingle through the taste buds. Full flavored brew, very delicious. I would call it a red IPA.
