Lots of hops give a big floral aroma. The citrus hops balance out the beer against the toasty herbal malts with a light fruitiness. SwedeDog (364), Windsor, Connecticut, USA

D’oh
Poured red and clear with a small head. It left a decent lace, considering the plastic(?!) cup. Aroma was hoppy and woody with a slight sweetness going on. Most likely caramel. Flavor was piney and grassy hops with a little bit of a sweetness there, too. It was very refreshing after a day of pedalling my ass off. AxeMaster221 (343), Portland, Oregon, USA

Hops are fairly well balanced with a touch of malt for a rather smooth finish, very enjoyable. HumuloneRed (750), Portland, Oregon, USA
