May 10, 2009 Clear, reddish, light brown liquor. A blend of large and small bubbles in the head--dies quickly. Good lace on the side of the glass.
Nice blend of malt and hop in the aroma. The hop smells fresh, but is subtle to allow the dryness of the malt to come through.
Dry brew on initial taste. The hop takes over after that. Nice long aftertaste. Good body with relatively low carbonation. Not creamy.
A very nice, dry brew. At 7% abv, this is a deceptively strong beer for the flavor profile.

Apr 29, 2009 12oz bottle. This was a complete surprise. Never heard of this one but figured I should try a bottle for the sake of research. Really like it. Pours a dark red with a unique taste. Very drinkable. Will be getting more of these.

Apr 26, 2009 Bottle from Julio’s. Pours dark red with a sizable head. Aroma is bright of grapefruit and pine. Palate is medium, moderately carbonated . . . very supportive of big flavor. Flavor starts with red, sweet fruit, maple sugar, malt and floral hops. From mid-palate on this beer brings in spicy rye, caramel, and distinctive pine and flowery hops. Really nice blend, and the alcohol is even well-hidden. A great drinker: balanced, flavorful, spicy, and hoppy.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of sweet, nougaty malt, spicy grain notes, citrus notes, sort of in the tangerine area. Flavor continues to be quite fruity, citrus and raspberry. Huge sweetness from the malt, but a fair amount of that spicy grain and what seems to be a heap of hops balances is out enough. Not sure I’d really care to return to this beer with all the sweetness, but pretty tasty to try.

Apr 20, 2009 Pint served at the Tap House. Poured a dark walnut brown with some ruby tones showing through. The head was off white/light tan, foamy, and left some excellent lasting lace. The nose presented some initial tartness, as a combo of spice, citrus, pine and malt sweetness. The flavor followed up with a touch of caramel and some solid rye dryness and hop bitterness that lasted through the finish. The texture was a little syrupy, but the body was medium to full. A very decent brew
