Nov 13, 2009 Again, another nice beer out of Cali brought back by Buddy. Pours pitch black. Aroma is pretty neutral. Nothing special and that’s made it average in my opinion. Taste was dark chocolate, some earth and plenty of smoke. Overall, decent. And wish i would have had a couple more. Thanks pal!

Aug 4, 2007 Was monikered "Ninkasi Believer" where I consumed it, and am surprised to see it is called a Double Red. To me, this was a fabulous Am. Strong Ale/Double IPA. Deep amber hue with adequate head. Gushing cascade boquet, and a flooding of Cascade rounded out my some of the usual PNW suspects. Adequate bitterness, but it definitely takes a back seat to the later edition hops. I would surmise that this is dry hopped with cascade hops--gives it a desirable, raw, edgy hop leaf flavor. Top notch.

May 15, 2008 Clear mahogany color with a fleeting head. Good aroma is sweet bread and roasted malts. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery. Mild flavors of caramel malts with a bit of roastiness. Has a mild hop flavor to finish. Tastes watered down.

Oct 30, 2008 Amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is malty with light alcohol, caramel, red fruits. Taste is a light fruitiness up front followed by a light hoppiness, light mixed nuts, light alcohol. Easy drinking ASA.

Dec 6, 2008 22oz Bottle. Nice floral hoppy nose. It has that nice juicy combination of west coast hops with good fragrant malts in a red. Maybe a touch of slightly rotty malt stems. Pours a translucent bright red, with a good creamy tan foam. Flavor is decent. There is an edge of isovaleric that is particular to me. Otherwise, a decent dry malt edge, some good west coast floral, and a flourish of under the table yeast. Decent, drinkable, fresh and flavorful. Nice bright grassy finish. Decent. Thanks Darrell!

May 3, 2009 A nice if not typical American strong. Aroma was mostly dish soap with a strong citrus element. Pour was a dark gold wiht a good bit of bubbles and a one finger off white head. Taste was mostly strong and earthy hops with a strong light caramel backbone and a moderate alcohol burn. Very good.

Aug 8, 2008 650ml bottle. Clear red/brown body with a big beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel and lots of hops. Flavor as a nice, powerful balance of malt, sweet caramel and lots of hops. Fine, rich body and a long flavorful finish. An interesting and well made mix of IPA and red ale.
