Apr 7, 2002 Sweet, hoppy aroma with a flavor that lives up to it. A biting, but not too bitter, hop start (which I thoroughly enjoy) and a sweet, mildly grapefruity finish. Rivals Sierra Nevada Pale Ale as the beer that I would want to always have on hand.

May 2, 2002 Big head, amber hued, huge nose. My favorite from Troegs! I’ll have another.

Aug 31, 2002 Updated: Jul 18, 2007Beautiful red color that invited me in. Superb flowery hop. Rolls into the tongue. Smooth finish.

Mar 10, 2002 In my oppinion, this is the best beer from Troegs. Better than their pale ale. Great taste and aroma. A good balance between hops and malts. From the ratings I’ve seen, it seems like this is one of the most underrated breweries around. This one is right up there with some of the best english ESB’s.

Apr 18, 2002 Great beer! Pine/caramel aroma suggests a nice balance between the hops and malts. The flavor backs it up -- nice hoppiness backed by good malts. The beer is copper colored with minimal head.

Jul 28, 2003 An awesome pour! Sweet malt aroma. Very nicely balanced flavor, but a little too sweet for my preference. Interesting coffee like aftertaste. Overall pleasant and very high quality but just too sweet for me to crave again.

Oct 1, 2002 Rocky loose head over rust colored body. Lots of hops in the nose--citrus and pine. The body is light. Fruit-driven malt lasting for a terribly long time, sweeping toward a long, bitter finish. First rate ESB. Fresh, fruity and snappy and terribly appealing. This brewery really impresses me.
