Sep 21, 2007 The jug, down from elevation in Fort Collins to Oklahoma, poured clear bronze-ish color w/ moderate tan head, settling quickly. Aroma starts to warm with mentholy pine. Very full flavored without being off balance. Distinct bittering hops but also plenty of roasted malts. Not typical to my experience with reds, but delicious for sure. Way to hop!

Sep 20, 2007 Muddy amber/orange with an off white head. Aroma is big sweet fruity hops of orange and grapefruit peels with some floral hops as well. Almost a malty chewiness in the aroma too. Good strong malt body with great hop character. The hops taste like a blend of flowers and fruit. Nice sweet malt and hop finish. Very well done.

Sep 13, 2007 Poured from a bottle. Poured a ruby red color with a thin off-white head. Sweet floral aroma that was inviting. Initial sweet malt flavor with some underlying fruitiness gives way to a hoppy finish. Interesting, I love their new single batch series idea.

Sep 11, 2007 12oz bottle. Clear bright copper orange with some reddish hues and a quickly fading creamy beige head. Plenty of hops--grapefruit and spicy pine--help keep the scorched caramel malt background interesting. There is also a nice fruity tang of peach present, and I have no idea where that came from. Flavor adds some earthy and herbal bitterness and a well masked 8%abv. Did I pick up on some strawberries and blackberries? Semi dry finish with overall bitterness peaking at a 5 or so. Light to moderate carbonation with a medium body. Very nice offering from these guys.

Sep 11, 2007 Really dark amber, with a malty, caramel, and floral nose. SMooth medium+ body malty sweet with a little too much balance of hops but for the style a good 8% beer.

Jun 7, 2007 12oz bottle-Adark amber body with a nice tan head and an aroma of hops with a slight roasted scent. Taste of hops and grapefruit with a slight malt before the dry finish. A nice tasting beer.

Feb 22, 2007 I am usually not a big fan of reds, but this one was delicious. Poured darker than expected witha beige head. Fairly full bodied. Nice hoppiness with good citrus noted along with...apple maybe??? glad to see a strong red that is still very drinkable.
