Nov 23, 2006 Pours a clear bright copper bronze with a forthy, well-lacing off-white head. Aroma boasts fresh grapefruity hops and some sweet caramel malt. Body starts with a healthy dose of sweet toasty crystal malt and a touch of rye toward a drier bittersweet flavor hoppy finish. Nicely balanced and interesting brew.

Nov 22, 2006 Poured amber-red in color, decent initial head, good retention, unimpressive lacing. The aroma was bready, caramel, spicey hoppy rye. The flavor followed suit, pretty crisp and sharp initially (40-45F) with increasing caramel sweetness a light fruity esters as it warmed. The increasing sweetness kept this from being excellent or distinguished from its near peers I’ve rated, but it was a pretty solid and enjoyable beer nonetheless. Mouthfeel was full and hearty.

Nov 17, 2006 A very sublime beer. A malty, fruity scent with a dry, malty watery finish. Tastes to me like a brewpub smells. Drinkable in the extreme

Nov 17, 2006 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy tan colored bubbles that was mostly lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated caramel brown colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was hoppy bready and Irish Red malty. The crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a biting hoppy aftertaste. The mild flavor contained notes of mild hops hops breads and caramel. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Nov 11, 2006 Smallish offwhite head over deep red body. Sweet, sharpish, wild berry aroma with rye malt notes. Deep, firm malt sweetness. Taste is nutty rye malts with hop background. Bitterish, but not too bitter. Bitter sugary taste lingers. Quite simple, but reasonably good. (0.65l bottle.)
