Mar 11, 2005 Basic red/amber with some dry hopping. Not the same beer as a couple years ago when it was much bigger. some crystal malt and roast hints with a clean innocuous bitterness.

Jan 30, 2005 Updated: Sep 1, 2007West Coast amber, nice piney/funky earthy nose with a medium amber body. Medium bitterness. A touch of sulfur along with a fruity ester play well with the hop character.

Oct 19, 2004 Updated: May 22, 2006eh...Nice amber, I guess. Nothing special, nothing offensive. It’s kindda hard to comment on- it’s just sorta there.
Re-Rate. Bottle. dark garnet color with an ivory head. Faint malt aroma. Toasted malt flavor. cocoa aftertaste.

Sep 16, 2004 Hoppy aroma with some nuts. Nice red/amber color with small head and no lacing. Red popsicle fruitiness interwoven with mild hoppiness and slight hop zing on the finish. Slightly watery mouthfeel. This is another nice west coast hoppy red. Thanks to Flipbrewer for te sample.

Aug 31, 2004 Pours an amber color. Slight hoppy aroma. Very mild hoppy flavor, a little nuttiness. Seems a little bland. Finish is rather watered down.

Jul 9, 2004 Dark copper brew raising a decent cream colored head. Fruity hop nose. Light bodied brew, watery with a mild hop bitterness. Not much going on here.

Jul 5, 2004 Bottle pours deep amber, rather translucent, small off-white batter like head, with fairly good lacing and minor carbonation. A somewhat peaty/malty aroma on the nose. Minor hop flavor immediately up front, quickly giving way to a nice peaty flavor. Minor hop bitterness lingers throughout. FInish is somewhat quick, and a tad thin. This seems like quite a light American Strong Ale. Otherwise, not bad... Thanks goes out to Flipbrewer for the trade!

Jun 18, 2004 A very Hoppy aroma. Taste has the right amount of malt and then finishes with some hops. A medium mouth feel. Very enjoyable.
