CaptainCougar (4709), Rockville, Maryland, USA 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. goldtwins (3755), Nesconset, New York, USA Oct 31, 2007 GABF 2007: Poured a crystal clear copper color with an off-white head. Toasty malt with some chocolate in the aroma. Some citrus fruit. the flavor was citrusy with a malty middle. Citrus comes back to finish it off. Medium body. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Oct 21, 2007 <b>Date:</b> 10/14/2007<br />

jcwattsrugger (4272), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Nov 6, 2006 on tap-pours a light tan head and cloudy copper/bronze color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel, dark fruit. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel, dark fruit, secondary hops. OK/mild carbonation. Braudog (3464), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 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.
