A clear copper red ale with no head. In aroma, light mix of belgian sweetness meets light floral hops, very subdued. In mouth, close to the Double Vision but dryer and with good menthol hops, nice and pungeant, well balanced. Rich and smooth. On tap at Lowell BW, Jan. 10 2009.

Dark dry hopped Belgian, estery with some strange after taste, not a good representation of the style ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

on tap-pours an off white ring for a head and hazy amber/copper color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel, some medium fruit. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel, some medium fruit, spice hops, hint of banana.

Cloudy light brown color. Quickly descending head that leaves a thin lacing. Light aroma, especially when it is cold. Sweet cherry flavor. Really lightly hopped, but they are nice tasting hops. Medium bodied, but smooth and maybe a little too sweet for my tastes.
