Oct 18, 2007 Deep reddish color with a fairly creamy tan head. Lots of roasted malt and hops both represented well in the flavor (despite what the expletive-laden review immediately below me would indicate). A bit of coffee-like malt flavor initially with a nice piney hop flavor balancing it out in the finish. My only real complaint is that it’s a tad thin on the palate but overall a great beer either by itself or with a variety of food.

Oct 17, 2007 Another overrated beer from perhaps the most overrated microbrewery in existence. It’s not very hoppy. It’s not very malty. Kind of tastes a little of Florida tap water (that, by the way, is not a good thing). Why is this shitty company so fucking popular? The red star. The communist name dropping? When did douchebag hippies get such a big foothold in american beer "culture?"

Oct 15, 2007 The aroma to this one is great, as well as the colour and the palate. The downside is the slightly overbearing hoppiness, but if you’re in to that, this is your beer. I would not mind having this one again.

Oct 14, 2007 Huge hop boquet coming forma deep amber brew with a thick off white head. Huge citris hop flavor balanced by carmel malth. Medium mouth feel with a super dry finish. I cold drink this beer all day long.

Oct 9, 2007 From some undated notes. I remember this was a 12oz bottle from Old Chicago that said it was the dry hopped version. Slightly hazy copper penny with a one finger beige head that fades to a film. Aroma of piney hops, some caramel and toffee malts, and some light earth. Flavor is toffee and pine, light sugar cookies, and lots of earth and dirtiness--a little too dirty for me. Moderate high carbonation with a medium body.

Oct 8, 2007 Updated: Nov 21, 2007A good ale. Fairly tasty, hoppy, quaffable beer. Could stand to be brightened up. Re-rated Nov 2007 with the dry-hopped tag: no changes in how I feel about the beer but I upgraded the appearance rating because it looks damn good: killer head and good lacing. Nice palate too.

Oct 8, 2007 Poured a deep amber color into the shaker with an inch of white head. Small ringlets of lacing stuck around after each sip. The scent was hoppy with some yeasty, bready notes. A nice flavor with hints of citrus and spices. A good bitter finish. Good session beer.

Oct 8, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark, DARK red with brown undertones. Nose is heavy with pine and spruce, as well as a roasted quality. Tastes like a cross between an amber and american pale...a slight toffee flavor comes through amidst the roastiness and faint citrus. Unusual beer; not my favorite from the good folks at Rogue, but I’d drink it again.
