Hazed bloody crimson red, creamy tan head. Nose was an interesting mix of toasted dark sweet malt, hints of roasted chocolate, touches of cherry and grapefruit, with just a slight note of cooked veggies. Toasty malt flavors throughout that balance with earth and citirc hop tones. More malt here for sure with slight chocolate and mild coffeeish notes from start to finish. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, soft bittersweet finish. An Alesmith session brew without a doubt. Good stuff...

Mar 11, 2008 Tap at Brewery.
Dark red/brown with a 1 finger off white head. Smell is sweet candy sugar, medium piney hops and a slight subdued caramel. Taste starts with a sweet caramel note then the hops jump out. Nice mellow pine hops that really stand out. Would love to know what hop this is. Mouthfeel is creamy with a dry finish at the end.

Dec 5, 2007 Growler from the brewery. Deep red-brown color, with a good-sized light head. Complex flavors of hops, malt, and citrus. Taste fades away smoothly, changing into a bit of a sharp bite at the end. Very nice ale.

Nov 11, 2007 No Killian’s, for sure! My simple mind classifies this as somewhat sweeter than the AleSmith IPA, with a little added dry coffee finish. An absolute joy on tap.
