Feb 21, 2007 Updated: Mar 15, 2007Aroma is that of raspberries and hops. Pours a ruby/amber cross with moderate golden head. Definitely the bigger, better brother of Burning River. Nicely hopped for flavor with hints of berry. Very complex and at the same time well balanced. Hides alcohol well. As with all the Great Lakes I have tried, has a nice full body with moderately bitter finish. Great beer.

Feb 20, 2007 Bottle from RagallachMC (Thanks Paul!) Pours a glowing reddish amber w/ no head but visable carbonation. Lots of fruits abound the nose-raspberry, cranberry, and cherry layred overtop a heavy hop profile. Flavor delivers a flash of sugary sweetness with an immediate bitter hop kick. A tad sharp at the end, but still an enjoyable and drinkable beer at the end of a long work day.

Feb 17, 2007 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a pretty, amber golden with a yellowish head. Fresh, hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied with roasted malts and caramel and then some perfumy, Hubba Bubba like accents. Rather hoppy finish. Lovely. Courtesy of JCapriotti. 120207

Feb 16, 2007 Beer pours bright red amber color with a partially retained beige colored head that leaves lacing on the glass. Aroma is spicy, hoppy, caramel, and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet caramel, fresh pineapple and hop bitterness. Very nice interplay between the malty goodness and the sharp, cutting hoppiness. Finish is hoppy spicey. Would love to drink more of this. Mouthfeel is solid and beer sticks to lips during comsumpiton.

Feb 7, 2007 Bottle thanks to DrBayern! Pours a dark amber color with a nice off-white head on top. Aroma full of malts, with dark fruits, caramel and hints of hops. Flavor is full of more hops than the aroma of the beer makes you think. The hops make way to finish with a nice sweet maltiness. More balanced than the nose makes you think. A pretty tasty beer!

Feb 6, 2007 Bottle from trade. Pours a dark copper color with a small off white head.Aroma of grapefruit and caramel. Taste is of hops and spices. Flavor is odd and uninspiring. Finishes with a dry sweetness lingering on the tongue.

Jan 30, 2007 12 oz bottle says Dec 07/06. Pours reddish amber with small foamy off-white head with a bit of orange hues present. Very strong hops presense in the aroma with a sweet malty melon-like aroma. Nice bitter burn, lot of hops in here. Feels thick with a kind of tangy, piney bitterness. Good stuff here.
