Bottle. My expectations were very high for this beer, but unfortunately I felt a little let down. It’s not that it was bad, but it wasn’t as phenomenal as I was led to believe. Anyway, it poured a deep ruby red/brown with a nice thick tan head. Aroma was strong malt, roasty, some hoppy/citrus notes. It was quite bitter with definite citrus hoppiness, but there was a very firm, sweet maltiness. Some alcohol and oiliness. There was something up front, the very first taste that hit me, but I couldn’t place it. I’d drink it again, but I wasn’t blown away.

Dec 4, 2008 Taste 12/8 Bottle. Looks: Lovely dark red body with a lacing head. Aroma: Tons of malts and yeast. Taste: Nice thick malt base with a good sour yeast. Finishes with a nice sharp hops bitterness. Unique, over the top and quite drinkable.

Dec 3, 2008 Bomber. Glad this is available in FL now. Pours deep amber color, with an off white head. Very floral smell. Big and hoppy. Has the nice citrusy and evergreen flavor. Definitely some caramel sweetness in there too. Really good...in fact..I Was worthy

Dec 2, 2008 Pours a rich chestnut amber color with a creamy off-white head. Rich aroma of citrus and floral hops, nicely balanced. Taste is hoppy and fruity, with hints of grapes balanced with caramel hops, and a bitter finish which reminds me of a grapefruit. Very strong lacing. Overall, a robust beer that feels like a cross between an IPA and an amber lager.

Nov 30, 2008 This beer is available on tap at several places near me. So, I drink a good bit of it. Copper with a large head. Taste of malt, hopes, and bitters. Some alcohol taste as well. Very pleasant aftertaste. Recommended.

Nov 29, 2008 Poured a red color with light lacing. Mild taste of hops, but with bitter malts. Couldnt taste the alcohol, but rather enjoyed the aftertaste which was nutty with a little citris.
