CelticBrew (496), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Apr 29, 2008 Pours a hazy ruby/coppery color, forms small off white foamy head. Aroma of faint grapefruit hops and malts. Ocean water and lite peppery spices sneak in too. Flavour is of a soft rye and hop flavour, somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Very tastey and smooth beer, absolutely no alcohol detected. Pine resin comes through in the end as well, overall superb beer.
jkwalking05 (182), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 25, 2008 Color is amber with a slight haze and a decent sized ivory head. Aroma reminds me of a Barleywine as does the taste. Aroma is of brown sugar, caramel, raisins, malts and a slight hoppiness. Taste is similar with some notes of toast and alcohol warmth. beergod!
