unrulythings (53), Portland, Oregon, USA May 5, 2008 pours a deep cranberry red color with a big tan head. aroma is malty with hints of pine. flavor is very hoppy with notes of tart grapefruit, a bit of caramel, and lots of pine. a very well rounded beer. bhensonb (2288), Woodland, California, USA Apr 28, 2008 Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Deep malty aroma with hints of hop. Dark, really garnet color with a frothy beige head. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted malt (typical red) and pine and grapefruit. Light stone fruit esters parade around the middle, and the finish is well balanced. Very tasty. CelticBrew (387), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Apr 23, 2008 Pours a deep amber/brown, forming a medium foamy head. Aroma of hoppy malts, a bit of candied fruits, matalic plums. Flavour is of spicy grapefruits, hops, soft pine resin with a full caramel malt character. Somewhat dry in the end, but overall tastey. Wish I could try on tap. SDbruboy (1733), San Diego, California, USA Apr 15, 2008 22 oz. bottle, from Liquid Solutions. Pours a deep mahogany red color, somewhat hazy with a small to middlin’ whitish head that leaves spots of lace. Rich aroma of burnt caramel, overripe summer fruits, citrus, evergreen and light spice. Flavor features brash and crisp hoppiness, balanced by roasty, fruity, caramelly malts, spicy grapefruit, hints of pine and white pepper. Medium to full body and subtly agressive carbonation. Quite enjoyable. JK (2262), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Apr 11, 2008 Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Red in color and quite bitter. Loads of citrus hops with grapefruit. A little sweet malt, and more hops in the flavor. I like this.
