ExSpectator (65), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Nov 12, 2006 Bottle, pours reddish-brown with a small head. Has a strong hop aroma. Tastes of bitterness with citrus, a nice amount of hops, perfect for the time of year. orville (160), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA 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. dkoonce (880), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA 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. bdjames29 (272), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA 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. JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA 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. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA 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. RCL (1443), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Nov 3, 2006 Powerful hoppy, almost leathery flavor. Beautiful looking beer and pretty damn tasty too. milewide (609), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Nov 2, 2006 Updated: Apr 20, 2007It is red. Especially nice combo of bitterness and citrus flavors. Medium body is just right.
