Tap @ Medocino (Old Saratoga Brewery) Pours red in color, with a foamy head. Very hoppy with a tough of citrius. Dry finish.

Pours out a nice even red color. Formed a nice foamy head. Aroma of hops and malts that had a perplexing odor of citrius. Flavor is of hops and malts, somewhat dry, but it works. Sorta sessionable, but has that pungent dry ending, perfect for hot and spicey foods.

Very Nicely done. A perfect beer the for the social get together. Has balance malts, hops and flavor all around. a good bitter punch in the middle.

12 ounce bottle. Clear amber with next to no head. Sort of a bread malt aroma with some earthy herbal hops. Really sort of aggresive hops. Spice and very bitter. Uninspired

Too thin and astringent. Not exactly harsh, but not really complex, either. Bitter finish, but not horribly so. Not much of a lingering aftertaste. Citrusy but overwhelmed by brittle hoppiness.

Bottle: Clear gold color, NOT amber, with a white head. Same nast aroma as their other beers I rated - not quite appealing. The taste is tangy followed by the flavor of of an unlit match tip. The feel is pretty watery and is dissipates quickly. Better than the other ones, but not by much.

Bouteille de 12 oz. par un collège de travaille, qui l’a acheté en Californie en octobre dernier. Couleur thé comme une IPA, peu de mousse. Faible arome d’houblon amère, un peu fruité. Goût d’houblon faible, mais assé amère. Très simplistique.
