| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 8, 2007 Bottle, courtesy of Moejuck. The pour reveals a clear reddish copper color with a thin beige head. Solid aroma of hops with caramel malt and fruits. Very good flavor of strong, assertive hops with caramel malt and fruits, it finishes with bitterness. The body is medium with a liquorous texture and moderate carbonation.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Caramel color. Smell of hops, malt, oranges, caramel, spice and bread. Taste of hops, malt, citrus, alcohol, caramel, pine, sugar, burnt toast, grapefruit and spice. Very hoppy and bitter. estoppel (1028), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Bottle. Red body, small off-white head with lacing, hoppy nose. Mostly PNW hops, somewhat sweet. Dangerously drinkable, but not outstanding. Beerman6686 (1280), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 2, 2007 Poured reddish orange into the glass. I thought it was a DIPA when I was drinking it. But American strong ale explains the malty and sweet characteristics. Seemed a little thin and not as balanced as others I have had. Overall, still a good beer.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Fairly clear, deep crimson body. High carbonation is apparent. Small, off-white head settles to a thin film with a prominent edge. Minimal, perfectly symmetrical polka dots of lacing. The aroma shows prominent grassy, herbal hops over a toasty, grainy, rye malt profile. Caramel is present, as are faint, indiscernible fruits and cereal smells. The flavor is very hoppy, with a toasty, grainy, rye background. Medium body that is smooth and easy to drink. Long, bitter, moderately astringent finish. Nice brew. Hangover (765), Atlanta, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 27, 2007 Dark copper-red pour with a lasting light-tan head. Very earthy aroma with a lot of piney hops and malty sweetness. Full mouthfeel, nice carbonation. Initially it’s thick, resinous with strong pine. Floral towards the middle and the malt appears towards the finish, caramel, bitter. Strong and warming without evident alcohol. Big beer, big taste! Heck yeah.
