2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Vertical Bacon Strips (1697) - Asshat, - OCT 25, 2009
UPDATED: NOV 8, 2009 Poured out a clear burgundy beer - really a great colour here, thick, never ending dark tan head and ample lacing. The aroma is interesting: lanolin, more fake grapefruit hops, nectarine, sour yeast - the majority of the aroma is citrusy, odd dark burnt sugar. Bitter taste. Dirt. Deep roasted malts, very bitter.. the dirt is the only thing wrong.... sigh. Light medium bodied, ok creamy mouth feel, very long and good bitterness. The amarillo hops saved this beer.

Definitely one of my favorite beers. It pours a wonderful red color with a thick head. It smells of fruits, mostly peach and passion fruit. It tastes of strong malt and has a yummy caramel after taste. I can basically drink this beer all day!

330ml bottle pours a rich amber color with a huge off-white head that has excellent retention and settles to a fantastic lattice of lacing on the glass. Aroma is light fruits and caramel with some spicy hops. Taste is light fruit and caramel malt sweetness and a light spicy hop bitterness. Light to medium body with abundant carbonation leaving a very nice mouthfeel. A very well done amber ale and highly recommended. I was very impressed with the quality of this brew.
