This beer satrts wonderfully, nice red color good head nice hop aroma. Then it becomes less impressive. The body is a little thin and the hops never seem to reveal themselves in the flavor department. It comes across as big and bold in aroma and color but then it’s a little thin in body and flavor. It’s not a bad thing I guess one could say this is probably what the original killian’s probably tasted like before they turned into a lager. I would suggest this beer to some one who has a fear of the bottom fermented as it has a nice aroma and color but is light and subtle on the tongue.

Dec 3, 2009 Flaske 0,355l fra juletilbudet hos Alko Arkadia. Rødbrun på farge. Uklar. Høyt svakt brunfarget luftig skum som varte noen minutter. Kraftig humlet aroma. Søt & syrlig frukt. Litt tyggegummi. Smaken er i samme gate men den vokser videre og etterlater en langvarig ettersmak av grapefrukt.

Dec 1, 2009 Great flowery, chewy malty smell- I couldn’t wait to try this after having gotten that nose of glory. Unfortunately, my bottole must have gone bad or something- this tastes like baby poop and death. bottle from Total Wine and More, Naples, Florida.

Nov 28, 2009 Dark red-brown beer with big and lasting head. Aroma is syrup-like sweet, red currants and some fruits. Flavour is dryer than expected based on aroma, berries, and some bitternees in the end. Quite slippery and nice to drink. Not top beer but still good and succesfull, better than Rogue Amber Ale.

Nov 17, 2009 Updated: Nov 21, 2009Pours dark amber, approaching crimson, with a luxurious off-white head, showing great persistence.
Amazing sweet hoppy aroma showing loads of resin, pine, orange blossom, grapefruit and mint. Well balanced by sweet crystal malt. Superb.
Similarly, the flavours show a great balance of malt and hops. Loads of caramel first up, before resin and pine show through, followed by some grassy notes (from dry-hopping?). All this is finished off by a captivating and complex (not to mention assertive) bitterness.
Smooth, moderately rich mouthfeel.

Nov 5, 2009 600cl bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a darkish red tinged amber colour with a decent enough sized off white head. Some sweet malty fruitiness and anticipated hopiness in the aroma Palate is somewhat on the watery side but its tasty enough stuff , if slightly underwhelming. Dryish finish.
