On tap at the Map Room. Pours an opaque red with an off-white head. Hops are evident in aroma and taste along with a slightly caramel malt background. There was a certain musty quality that was a bit distracting.

Oct 3, 2008 Dry hopped Red Ale. Aroma is rich roasted malt, dried fruits, caramel. Reddish brown color with tan foamy head. Flavors are roasted malt balanced with a rich hopped bitterness. Decent amount of sweetness. Rasins and oatmeal. Slight orangepeel on the duration. Palate is light but solid and not weak. Pretty good overall.

Sep 30, 2008 Pours a red-copper color with thin head. The aroma is malty with some definite hoppiness. Not as much hoppiness in the aroma as I expected. The flavor is good. It is malty with a unique hop flavor. I don’t find this hop flavor in a lot of beers. The dry hopping is apparent. The body is a touch on the light side for me and the carbonation is good. This is a good hoppy beer and is different then a lot of the hoppy beers out there.

Sep 21, 2008 Dark, red-amber. Aroma is sweet and malty. A little bit fruity....hints of grape, plum....maybe a little cherry and pear. Flavor is very hoppy. Decently fruity. Still a little grape and pear flavor. Mostly hoppy though. Good bitterness. I approve.

Sep 21, 2008 (Bottle). Citrus hopsy aroma. Red color, large beige head. Flavor a wonderfully balanced blend of semi-sweet lemony citrus and semi-bitter hops, along with a malt backbone. Finish is a lingering mild bitterness. Refreshing.
