Apr 8, 2006 The aroma was a touch hoppy, but instead of a bitter hop, it was a nice floral hop. The color was a purplish-red with not much of a head. The flavor had some caramel to it. It was pretty smooth, and the mouthfeel was lighter than I would have expected. Quite a nice beer.

Apr 7, 2006 Much thanks to Dave for the freebie! Has a decent malty and fruity aroma. Nice hazy brown body, with a little beige head. Flavor is quite pleasant, slightly sour and fruity. Good body and carbonation. Overall, I found this quite enjoyable.

Apr 6, 2006 Pours deep amber with a thick tan head. Good head retention when served on tap. Aroma had sweet malts, caramel, currant, raisin and various other fruits, Sour and alcoholic taste with caramel, currant and raisin mixed in with a strong alcohol taste. Mouthfeel was acidic but still quite full. A bit watery for the strength yet still effective. As it went down it became more drinkable. Good stuff.

Apr 5, 2006 I found this ale to be very skunky in aroma and has a bitter taste with a lingering palate. I wasn’t sure about this amber color ale at first but I grew to like it with every sip.

Apr 5, 2006 Bottle, from Julio’s. Enjoy by Aug 10/06. No problem there. Ok nose sweet & sour. caramel, grapefruit, raisin. Clean reddish orange color, good head that faded quickly to a ring, then nothing. Little to no lacing. Bitter flavor. Like aroma. Grapefruit, tinny, apple, caramel. Medium body, creamy oily mouthfeel, bitter finish. I enjoyed this, though it’s the bitterest alt I’ve had. If I had it blind I would have guessed an ipa. Good brew.

Apr 4, 2006 Sample at Indy tasting Dick’s BBQ 3/31/06 - Aroma is sweet raisins, carmel, and hops. Pours transparent brown with small head and little lacing. Flavor matches aroma with a lot more malt and a bit of chocolate. Palate is sticky and sweet. Pretty tasty stuff.

Apr 1, 2006 Bottle. Clear red amber body under a small white head. Light crystal aroma with an apple fruit kick. Big malt flavor - wheat bread with caramel and honey gooped on top tempered by a bitter baker’s cocoa and wood finish. Piney, bitter hops linger on the tongue after a swallow giving a nice contrast to the sweet start. Good mouthfeel, too.
