Nov 15, 2006 Bottle. Pours a crimson red that shows a brilliant ruby in light. A large light tan head that laces the glass rests atop this fine ale. Beautiful sweet full hoppy aroma. Smooth, full, crisp, excellent, this sweet, citrusy beer is a great balance of hops and malt with a beautiful resinous body. As excellent as I remembered having it on tap when it came out this year.

Nov 13, 2006 Hazy amber with an off white top. Well balanced brew tasted more like an English style with heavy caramel/toffee malt accent. Generous amount of bitter hops. Full body, balanced. Very drinkable. Well done.

Nov 9, 2006 Updated: Nov 16, 2006You almost want to give it a five star for the label. A very fine experience from a fine brewery. From the bottle it pours a redish (bloody) mohagany and wow what a great swirling experince from a snifter. It has a palate that’s complex and hard to decribe for me because I’m no Michael Jackson.

Nov 8, 2006 Bottle purchased at the GLBC gift shop. Pours a deep red, almost the color of the label, with a thin head. Significant hop aroma, mainly floral. Exceedingly bitter, almost like a double IPA. Medium body. A bit sweet, but not enough body.

Nov 6, 2006 Bottle. Very good beer. Definite red color - pretty pour - not much head. Sweet, malty theme followed but a good bit of hopps. A bit dull in the mouth, though - could use a bit more life. Flavor is outstanding and very smooth. A good brew from a great brewery.

Nov 5, 2006 Reddish brown color with light head. Hoppy aroma, reminiscent of a good IIPA. Taste is sweet, syrupy, and richly hopped. Body is good up front, but fades late in the sip. This one had lots of promise, but was just a bit disappointing. Still a good beer.

Nov 4, 2006 Very nice brew from Great Lakes. The pour is a dark copper color with a small head. Aroma of hops, and what I would call rye. Great balance in the flavor with lots of great malt presence and a very nice amount of spicey hops.
