3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20Pours a murky amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of earthy hops, spices and grains. Taste has a decent amount of hop bitterness backed by a nice malt balance and finishes pretty dry. Overall I’d say this is a solid offering from a brewery that has yet to disappoint. SLAINTE!

Mixed six from Total Wine. Dark brown pour with a touch of red, off white head. Sweet caramel with a bit of citrus. Uh, yeah, hits with some bittersweet and finishes with carbonation and leather. Just a wonderful beer.

Clear red beer with an off-white head and a slight fizz to it. You get a bit of hop and malt in the aroma but it’s surprisingly ;light on that front. The taste is much stronger though. A big initial hit of hopand then what follows is an ever so slightly fruity malt flavour. The aftertaste is interesting, starting with the malt and then fading and leaving the hop to linger.

A - Hazy rusty red brown with an off white head.
S - Thick toffee/caramel malt, sugary strawberries, citrus hops,
T - Citrus off the top before a slab of rich toffee/caramel malt flows in with descent amount of leafy hop bitterness behind it. Some fruit and marshmallow sweetness mixed in as well.
M - Medium to full body, smooth, low carbonation.
Great malt base, very flavorful and satisfying.

Great hop character with a solid malt backbone. My only criticism is that the dark malts are a little strong on finish.

4.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hoppy and kinda bitter aroma. Dark amber color with white head. It’s floral hop at first taste then takes a leathery direction afterwards. Pretty bomb. Bear Republic rarely lets me down. For some reason this reminds me of something Port Brewing would put out. I don’t know if they have similar styles or ingredient choices but that.s what my tongue is telling me.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown with medium head and a little lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and malts. Taste is pine, fruity malts and sweetish. Medium bodied and a little sticky. Quite nice.

12oz bottle pours a reddy brown color. Great blend of hops and malt flavors.

I spent a good 6 or 7 lost in the aroma there is so much going on. Taste is the same. Layered with green apple, plums, maybe even a slight hint of wasabi. Body is light and oily and well suited to the overall structure. What a beer.

Pours dark red with frothy tan head. Aroma is full of both resiny hops and sweet caramel tones. Sweet with an astringent crisp finish. The body could be a bit fuller but overall this a very delicious bear. Bear Republic does it again
