Jun 20, 2009 12oz from the foodery. Pours orangey with a big tan head. Nose is sweet and hoppy with lots of malt. Taste is quite well hopped and decently balanced with the malt character.

Jun 20, 2009 This beer is no soo much an IPA but a red ale. Hoppy and a good color, it is a nice beer. Not too bitter but just enough to keep it consistent with the theme.

Jun 9, 2009 12oz Bottle. Light mint and orange aroma, backed with a little fresh crusty rosemary bread and some fresher hop oils. Pours a suprisingly dark, clear red - almost bloody. Head buils strong, with a fresh white soapy pale stone. Flavor is here and there, somewhat savory and a bit oldish. The hops are definitely a bit faded, and there’s a surprising amount of yeast character. The malt starts to show a little and it’s nice, bready, nutty, and crackery. Mouthfeel is full and rich. I think I would fatigue of this after one or two, but there’s a unique range of flavors that makes it alright. Nothing too special.

May 6, 2009 Pours a clear coppery red color with a moderate white head and good retention. Aroma is pine and citrus hops. Flavor is nicely balanced with some sweet malts and vanilla notes to go along with the hops. Slightly dry mouthfeel, but very drinkable. I liked this one.

May 3, 2009 On tap at the Dinosaur BBQ place in Rochester, NY. Poured a nice ruby/brown color with a thin white head. Aroma was some cascade hops, but not nearly as hoppy as iwas expeciting. A lot of malt aromas came through, some good biscuit and bread with some caramel undertones all mixed in with an apparent but not overwhelming hop character. Flavor was more of the same, but if anything the hops were tamed down even a little more. The beer was also just a touch on the watery side. Pretty tasty all around though.
