Dec 16, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GABF: Transparent copper bronze with a ring of spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malt and some mild grapefruity hops. Body is slightly sweet and caramely malty with nice bittering and flavor hoppy balance. A pretty good American strong ale.

Apr 26, 2006 4 oz sampler at the brewpub, 4/14/06: Finally, something good. Bright red with a ncie hoppy aroma. Silky smooth and relatively hoppy. More of an IPA than a "strong ale" ... good, but misnamed.

Mar 4, 2006 Draught at 4th Annual Wildland Firefighters Benefit & Festival. At the Pumphouse in Longmont, CO. Sample in a pint glass. The beer pours a clear, medium, amber color with a large, frothy, beige, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma is heavily malty with notes of cooke, caramel, and moderate amounts of toasted grain; Trace hop note of green grass; Trace miscellaneous note of vanilla. The flavor is moderately bitter with a long, heavily bitter, grippy-piney finish. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is fizzy.

Nov 6, 2005 Creamy, lasting heat atop a glowing brick red clear body. Light aroma of hops, roasted malt. Solid hops, not bitter at all. Dominating alcohol. Good frothy, velvety mouthfeel. Finish is bitter and slightly sour.

Oct 26, 2005 Tasted 10/1 GABF weekend. From the Redfish bar. Malty, plum nose. Sweet in the nostrils. 2004 GABF Gold Medal winner, who knew? Good brew with good amount of alcohol. Also raisins and caramel malt flavor.
