Jul 12, 2006 22oz bomber, no date. Pours a clear reddish brown with a moderate beige head. Aroma of nuts and toasted malts, some spicy hops. Some chocolate malts o come though a little bit in the taste, though not a whole lot. I think I got a little vanilla in there as well. Has a slightly chalky bitter finish. Kinda watery, moderate carbonation. Beer was actually a pleasant surprise--mainly because it’s kinda different, and somewhat because the label had me thinking this was a steaming pile.

Jul 3, 2006 22 oz bottle. Dark amber with a reddish tint. Smells and tastes of sweet carmel with some roasted malt undertones. Nicely balanced with a medium to light mouthfeel. Lame label needs to go, but not a bad APA.

Jun 4, 2006 Color is a reddish blonde with a decent sized head. Flavor was mostly malty with a bread biscuit undertone and hop profile. Not a beer to give me a stony happy face.

Mar 28, 2006 Poured a dark, reddish brown color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet caramel malts, toffee, dried fruits, and a citrus hoppiness. Taste of caramel malts, nuts, citrus fruits, some chocolate, and ending with a low hoppy bitterness. Average mouthfeel.

Mar 27, 2006 (22oz Bottle. 03/2006) Caramel and chocolate notes in the aroma -- but only way down there ... difficult to perceive. Deep, deep, clear red with an offwhite head that dissipates quickly to a medium ring. Malty. Some hoppiness balancing the beer with a definite lingering chocolate aftertaste. Smooth. Medium-full bodied. Finishes, unfortunately a little bit thin.

Jun 9, 2005 Pours a medim brownish red with a decent sized head, aroma is sweet roasty malt with hint of floral hops. Flavor carries the aroma, medium bodied, somewhat syrupy and a bit of hops on the back end for a nice finish. This was a pleasant surprise, I found bombers from this brewery being blown out for $1 at Bevmo and bought 3 different examples of their ales. This was a very decent red (apa).

May 20, 2005 Light red brown transluscent color, small white head. Malty aroma with a faint floral hop note. Floral hop nose, followed by well balanced malt flavors/slightly acrid hop bitterness. Finish leaves faint esters of banana and apricot.

Apr 15, 2005 Pours a brown/amber color. Minimal head. Aroma is malty with a slight hint of hoppiness. Nice malty flavor. Fairly roasty as well. Slightly sweet. Bitter finish. Doesn’t taste like any APA I have ever had. This is a pretty nice little brew.
