Dec 11, 2008 12 oz. Clear red-copper with a lasting half-inch of foam. Crunchy soap rings of lace. Nice caramel-grapefruit and nut aroma. Flavor is a tad more bipolar and harsh than the aroma suggests: caramel apple that turns to tea leaf and berry, and eventually is completely finished by grapefruit, tongue depressor and nutty-resin. Still, overall a tasty brew. Near-medium body is a little too frothy for me, and very woody-dry on the finish.

Dec 10, 2008 bottle - Pours deep amber with a one finger light tan head. It has a rich malt aroma with some cherry notes. The flavor is of caramel malt with nice fruity hop tones. This medium bodied brew has good bitterness in the finish. Well done.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours the color of a lightly tarnished penny with a minimal tan head. Dense aromas of nutty malt and slight hops dominate, but toffee and earth tones are there, too. Heavy sweetness dominates the flavor... a bit of a caramel, toffee sticky sweetness. A little bit of nut and wood are there, too. Finish is fairly sweet and sticky.

Dec 6, 2008 Bottle pours a clear dark copper color with a thin beige head. Although the head is thin it produces nice lacing along the glass. The aroma is hoppy with pineapple overtones. Flavor includes roasted caramel malts to go along with all the hops. Nice bitterness in the finish!

Very malty red with a nice smooth bitterness. Alcohol presence is mild. A nice yeasty flavor that I like. It balances the malt well. I like it above the current 3.71/94 percentile.

Dec 3, 2008 Bottle. Medium sized ivory semi-fizzy head that lacked good retention, transparent, fair amount of lacing, lively, fast rising carbonation, and an orange hue. The aroma was malt, caramel, hoppy, pine, and citrus. Ditto for the flavor along with a dry finish. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodied. A very nice balanced beer that was easy and enjoyable to drink, not overly hoppy tasting, worthy of a try, and a beer that I would drink again.

Nov 30, 2008 Draught. Pours red amber with a thin off white head. Weak sugary malt and hop aroma. Flavor is more sweet, sugary malt with a touch of hops. Overall somewhat bland. Nothing offensive but nothing wooing me over.
