Oct 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy amber with a med-thin off-white head. Almost no lacing. Aroma is sweet, with some piney hops. Flavor is very well balanced, with a caramel malt start, and some bittering hops in the back. The beer seems to gain malt as it warms. The alcohol is definately there, but it isn’t as overwhelming as I expected for a 8% beer. Palate is fairly creamy for the amount of carbonation, finishing a bit dry. Overall this is a very good, highly interesting beer.

Oct 24, 2008 Clear red amber with off-white head. Nose of caramel and hops. Flavor has a nice hoppy bite up front with good carbination that opens up with roasted sweet malt. Then the warmth of the alcohol hits towards the finish.

Oct 4, 2008 Another good O’Dell beer. Delicious hop flavor over a unique dark red colored body with semi-thick light tan head. Hops remind me of a Belgian beer. First "Red Beer" I’ve ever had and I like it.

Sep 20, 2008 I typically shy away from anything with a distinct hops flavor, but this beer changed all of that for me. Pours a ruby/amber with a thin, clingy, tan head. Aroma is distinctly of hops, and a wonderful roasted grain, with a hint of sweet. Flavor was Hops at first, followed quickly by the malt/grain, finishing with the caramel/sugars, then the hops kicked back in to give it an extremely crisp finish. My palate was singing and I make this a staple in my fridge when I can get it.

Sep 17, 2008 Bottle. Has a nice dark red color with a thin, creamy, clingy, tan head that lasts. Taste is rather hoppy, of malt, caramel and citrus. Is sort of sweet, with a dry and slightly bitter finish. Despite being 8% abv, the beer is rather easy to drink. Aroma matches the taste, but is very pleasant and noticeable. Pretty fulfilling and overall it’s satisfying. Not a bad beer at all.
