Mar 16, 2008 22 oz. brown, bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a brilliant orange color, with a thin, tan colored, sticky head. Aromas are of jasmine tea, sweet caramel malts, some toffee, palm sugar. Flavors are of strong malts, some Special B, earthy hops. Excellent body, rich and smooth. Flavors dance on your tongue, enticing you to drink more. Alcohol is dangerously well hidden. This is one smooth beer gang. Probably the best beer I’ve had from Southern Tier so far.

Mar 9, 2008 Thanks to theRealBastard for this. Pours a burnt orange with an offwhite head. Aroma of white chocolate, tons of grass, slight pine, and maybe a mixture of hay, jasmine, and whatever those plants are that smell kinda meaty when in bloom. Slight caramel flavor and a bit of white chocolate before the hops take over with their grassy, floral, almost pumpkin sweetness and just a weird pungnency. Finishes with a bit of grapefruit and grass clippings. Medium bodied somewhat creamy texture, fairly light on the tongue and not boozy. 9.5%? Man, can’t tell. This beer needs a LOT more malt to really be good though.

Mar 8, 2008 Pours a rich amber color with thin white head that fades quickly. Aroma is light fruit, with almost a subtle berry nose to it as well mixed with some floral spicy hops. Taste is up front with hops and some fruit and slight spiciness to it. Pretty decent but a little lop--sided with the lack of malt backbone.

Mar 8, 2008 Pours a light amber color with a medium frothy head and some sticky lacing. Aroma is hoppy, a little caramel, and some pineapple. Taste is about the same. Could use some of the sweetness tuned down.

Mar 6, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber/chestnut. Thin head. Glorious aroma. Hoppy and spicey. Not bad at all. Clean hoppy finish.

Feb 27, 2008 Bottle from State Line. Pours chill hazy dark straw, and didn’t go toward the red end of the spectrum at all. The aroma was hoppy, with some vinous fruit and caramel malt notes. The flavor reminded me a lot of Roxy Rolles, with a pronounced hop bite coupled with some malt and mangoey spices. The hops always seemed to have the forefront here, and I think more malt would have balanced this one out a bit. It does get a bit hot toward the end.

Feb 25, 2008 Not exactly red for a Red, more like a deep gold with a thin head. Quite floral in aroma with caramel malt. Rather muted in flavor for such a big beer, lightly fruity with a bit of mango. Clean, balanced and smooth for the alcohol but pretty boring.
