Jan 29, 2009 Rating this from memory from a 12oz bottle, thanks Malcolm! Pour a clear amber-garnet. Tons of really fresh west coast hops, pine, and citrus in the nose. Spicy, fresh, wonderfully balanced. This one actually blew me away, just awesome.

Nov 18, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with acdrz (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy copper color with a larger sized, creamy off white head. Aromas of pine, caramel, floral hops, and a little toasty. Tastes of caramel, floral hops, some and some fruitiness. Tastes a little on the weaker side and a bit of a let down compared to the aromas. Nice lacing left on the glass.

Nov 3, 2008 oft and dull raspberry red color. Clear. Sweet nose of sugared crystal malt and cedar scented dried hop cones. Some melon and maraschino cherries hint at Avery Hog Heaven, another sweet, thick, imperial red ale (or something). Texture is lightly rough, a little astringent on the back, chalky as well. Mostly sweet candy apple and sugared cedar, intensifying in the finish, leaves the mouth coated with a cherry and melon sugar syrup. A bit flabby on the back end. Okay overall but not something I could drink frequently.
