alafito (331), tijuana, Mexico Oct 28, 2006 Hmmm i was expecting a very malty non-hoppy brew and instead i got a nice red IPA. Lots of hops in the nose and tounge, spices and caramel with nice bitterness that adds to the crispness of the ale. I did however get some artificial fruit tones (citrus with cherries) at the end. Not bad for an amber... i would order it again.

Aroma is rather hoppy with some good citrus notes. Some grapefruit, honey, and grains. Flavor is very spicy and hoppy at the beginning with a lot of citrus in the middle that blends with some caramel malts and ends with a touch spicy and peppery hops. Aftertaste is bitter and spicy and lingers for a bit. sneagrams3 (1498), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Dec 13, 2008 The Dan Journal No.248. Tasted 11/10/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a reddish golden hue. Trace ring of off-white head. Aromas of honey and rye. Medium bodied with a busy palate. Rolling palate goes from sweet to bitter. Tart to sugary.

Cloudy dark amber supporting a small but long lasting light khaki head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor dominated by caramel with a little milk chocolate and bar nuts. Creamy mouthfeel and sweet finish. Could use more assertive hops but not a bad beer - more irie than a Red Stripe, Mon.
