SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Aug 17, 2007 In the bottle from Dirty John’s. Orange red in color with a thin white head. Very mild toasted caramel aroma, but not much else that I can pick out. This is watery and fizzy. As a filler, soy does not seem to do much in the beer. Just adds graininess like any other adjunct, it seems to me. jimhilt (1664), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Jan 15, 2007 Pours a three finger off-white head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Clear amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Slight malty nose. Starts almost sweet with hint of hops, some bitterness at finish. $1.39 for a 12oz bottle from John’s Grocery Iowa City, IA. KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jan 12, 2007 Orange amber color. Smell of wheat/grains, malt, hops and copper. Taste of very light hops and malt, corn, copper, rusty nails and a hint of chocolate, but very faint. brewblackhole (1367), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Jan 2, 2007 Very light grain malt aroma, light grain malt taste,with just a touch of sweetness, a little hop bitterness in aftertaste,very much on the light side,needs more malt and hop body BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Aug 15, 2006 12-oz. bottle from tjthresh. Pours amber with a thin edgy and patchy off-white head, poor attempt at lacing. Aroma is caramel malt (biscuit, cereal, meal) and yeast (dough, sweat) with some floral hoppy notes, brown sugar near the end. Mild sweetness that fades as the medium acidity and bitterness take over, caramel malt body with yeast and spicy hops at the end. Light bodied, fizzy and spicy palate. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA Aug 2, 2006 Interesting amber, but never really comes together and remains unbalanced throught the entire bottle. Has a vitamin bottle aroma, with some odd fruit flavors. Grainey texture, with some sweet caramel maltiness, and some fruity hop characteristics. I don’t know what to say about this one, other than it is hard to finish a Pony Express beer. jsquire (2086), St. Marys, Ohio, USA Mar 17, 2006 Vaguely hazy orange/amber color with a thin off white head. Nose has some orange peel and wet grain. Water dominates the initial swallow with some grainy sweetness, orange juice, toast, and a finish of old orange rinds. Thin beer with oddly disjointed flavors. I got this out of a friends beer of the month box. delmecum (87), Western Illinois, Illinois, USA Jan 29, 2006 Better than most reds but a tad bit sweet for my liking. Seemed a little waterery at times, but I was also drinking a better red while having this one
