Dec 10, 2007 It is big and it is red and it really does have a ton of Hallertau infused in all that maltiness. I don’t really know if I liked it, even though I rather like Hallertauer hops. The mix here just did not appeal to me as much as, say, Samuel Adams Hallertauer Imperial Pilsner. I am sure it has more to do with my limitations than those of this beer.

Dec 8, 2007 One of my favorites. More dark orange pour with red highlights. Little must/yeast in the aroma. Big hop taste in the front of the beer, but nice malty mouthfeel too. Not over carbonated. Nice job, just wish there was more in MD.

Nov 25, 2007 Bottle, not really red but clear light copper with a nice white head. Nice, floral noble hop nose along with touches of grain and light toffee. The flavor starts with a blast of grassy herbal hop character with a nice undercurrent of bread/caramel and strong yet pleasant level of hop bitterness. Medium/full bodied yet quaffable with a smooth texture and medium carbonation. A different take on a hop bomb, I enjoyed it.

Nov 23, 2007 Sample provided by jasonp. Clear amber body with a small beige head. The nose is grapefruit, apricot, orange, caramel and a light cattiness. Moderately sweet taste with caramel, light tea, grapefruit, pine and cotton candy. Medium/full body is soft and chewy with light carbonation.

Nov 18, 2007 22 oz. bottle my mother-in-law brought back from NY - Pours an amber color with a very slight haze and a one finger thick off white head. Aroma is toasted malt, bread, and fruity esters. Flavor is sweet toasted malt and esters. Has a nice bit of bitterness too. Alcohol is fairly well hidden. Medium body. A good beer.
