hopson (469), Williamsville, New York, USA Aug 18, 2008 bottle- disappointing tea like taste and mouthfeel. not the spice I was looking for. Hops not present. Oxidized. Perhaps this was a older bottle, so I would try it again, but very unimpressed. BMan1113VR (762), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Aug 17, 2008 Pours with a light brown, creamy head covering a clear red body with some particles. Grat lacing. Aroma of malts, currants, some caramel and rye. Taste is sweet and malty with a nice hop bite. Tastes like an imperial red but with less alcohol. Lively bubbles. Great beer. everettvh (12), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Aug 13, 2008 On tap at Founders. A great red colour with a lasting off-white head. Strong rye kick with bitter hoppy followup. A great beer.
