Feb 4, 2006 Uncharacteristically malty for a RR brew. Blood oranges in the nose with big caramel malt notes, Bready and floral makes for a very unique take on the classic pale ale. Hops are very clean and well balanced with a distinct Simcoe character. Well conditioned well balanced and very dry brew.

Jun 24, 2004 This is a very nice APA. I had it on draft at Hollingshead Deli. Nice copper color with a citrus/pine nose. It starts out hoppy but finishes clean and refreshing. The hop profile of this APA seems different than others I’ve had.

Jun 19, 2004 Big Juniper and dark resiny pine in the nose. Medium dark amber body wit ha fine white head. Malty carmel blends well with piney citrus hoppyness with touches of melon, fresh hop and fresh biscuts. Finnishes with a lot of hop charactor.

May 28, 2004 On tap @ Hollingshead Deli. Nice rich copper colored brew with a tempting citrusy nose. Very interesting drinking this one as you get a very hoppy citrus bitterness at the front. Malty, biscuity notes in the middle finished with an herbal bite at the end. Very enjoyable brew!
