Mar 10, 2007 Thanks to jah noth for the bottle. Hazy orange body, thick puffy off-white head. Bready, caramely aroma with requisite citrusy, piney hops. Smells like a sugared grapefruit. The body is characterized by potent grapefruit rind, soapy and earthy hops, and pine, backed by sweet toasty malts. Bitter finish with a punch of alcohol, a bit too much for this beer. Creamy palate. This is OK, not one of my standout American strong ales.

Mar 2, 2007 22oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a medium and clear amber color wtih a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus, some toasted malts, floral, and lightly spicy. Tastes of caramel, citrus and spicy. I would have guessed this one was a IIPA.

Feb 23, 2007 Pours an amber color (hardly red, but who’s keeping score), nice hoppy nose. This is an interesting ale, although I gotta say, it reminded me of a decent IPA. Pretty darn good, but neither red nor significantly different than other IPAs.

Feb 21, 2007 Pours a reddish orange, pretty clear, almost no head wit ha light whiteness surrounding the edges of the glass. Smells of light cinnamon characteristics, apple, spices, and hops. Taste has pretty massive cinnamon and caramel notes up front, which turn into hops towards the finish. Taste surrounds the sides of the mouth and back of the tongue well after the swallow. Pretty bitter though which somewhat takes away from it .

Feb 6, 2007 Bomber provided by Dad. (mine, not ohio..) Pours out a dark orange to reddish color with a small white head. Smell is slightly grassy, sweet, fruity, and some spicy notes with alcohol embedded. Taste is kind of grassy, pretty green, yet not really a whole lot of alcohol burn. Pretty solid, very easy to drink for the style. Not too bad, I enjoyed it while I watched the Colts whip up on some bear ass.

Feb 5, 2007 Buffy orange body with low visible carbonation and some notable viscosity. Small off-white head. Pungent spicy hop aroma, plus sweet grain, cherry, peach, light butterscotch, and prominent alcohol notes. Notes of tobacco and whiskey in the flavor with crusty, coarse hop flavors and medium-high bitterness in the finish. Comes together well.
