Heavy malt and hops..chewy..my 6th beer today. Red body wtih white to tan head...Bittersweet is a perfect name for this beer. Thick chewiness, over the top, but not too ambitious.Very drinkable .

Aug 29, 2008 Thick head (looks creamy) and nice amber color. Smells hoppy but not bitter (sweet?). Taste is hoppy , bitter, malty, ant returns to hops/alcohol. I taste something like plum Aftertaste is very pithy and dry.

Aug 23, 2008 Pour is deep golden ruby with a short lasting light tan head. Aroma is full of fresh hop chracters with some caramel malt. Flavor is very hoppy with a ton of malt and toffee caracters. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Dang good brew.

Aug 20, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Viscous orange pour with a small head that quickly disappears. I’m looking for the rye in the aroma but all I find are a sweet maltiness balanced by a bitter hoppiness. Citrusy hops with some rye. Alcohol is hidden well.

Aug 10, 2008 Cloudy orange brown hue. A small head that dissapears almost immediately. No carbonation in the glass. Fruity orange and more pineapple with just the tiniest hint of hops. A delicious aroma - do not drink this when hungry. The flavor is nothing like the aroma. Flavor is super heavily malted and even higher levels of hops - it is super packed with those two beer staples bursting at the seems. A silky palate but not as heavy as one might anticipate. The 10% alc is covered by all the hopping. This is a must try for those who appreciate the raw ingredients that goes into beer.
