Commercial Description:
This beer was originally brewed for a famous Reggae festival that happens each year here in Humboldt County. A malty bitter American Amber style ale. This mahogany hued ale brings an intense spectrum of hop flavors from the spicy aromatic to lingering bitter, all underscored by a full- bodied caramel richness. Try this brew with a little Jamaican Jerked Chicken.

Probably my favorite amber ale. Pours deep red with a small but thick head. Very sweet aroma, I was very surprised by it. Flavor is sweet, balanced out nicely by malts with a hoppy floral finish.

Bottle. Sweet fruity malt aroma. Reddish brown body, small dense off-white head. Flavor is spicy, fruity, lots of malt. Interesting light bitter finish that lasts a while.

[bottle - 12 oz] Ruby red pour with a creamy tan head. 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.

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. Fruity with apple orange and grapefruit notes. Odd palte roll, but interesting.

Bottle. 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.
