Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from Beers of the World in Rochester NY. Nice hop character for an Amber Ale. Caramel malty after taste though. A very smooth red/amber ale with a nice hop presence.

Dec 30, 2008 Dark brown color with a quickly dissipating tan head. Big hop character for this amber ale. Add some hops to your typical amber characteristics of caramel a little nuttiness and some red fruit and you get this beer. Grassy aroma and you are reminded of the hops again on the bitter metallic finish. Interesting flavor profile for sure.

Dec 29, 2008 bottle poured into a tulip glass has a dark burnt caramel red color and a thin tan head that became a thin layer. aroma has bitter and citrus hops, caramel, grapefruit, nuts, and some floral pine. mouth feel is medium and it coats well. flavor has a good malted base, caramel, bitterness, and juicy citrus hops. bitterness picks up and it finishes drying and lingers a bit. surprising punch for only being 45 ibu.

Dec 29, 2008 pint @ Tylers Apex. Good aroma, bitter sweet grapefruit, orange, leather, butter. Brownish orange color, ok head and lacing. Bitter flavor, citrus bitterness is dominant with occasional caramel, pine notes. Medium body, creamy mouth feel, bitter flavor. Good though I think this was a tad old, but I can’t be sure. Aroma would have moments of greatness but then would fade. Flavor was very bitter for the claimed IBU.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle, bought at Vinens Verden, Odense. Dyb red with a great, frothy, off-white head. Super duration with fine lacings. Hoppy wonderful aroma, lots of fruity grapefruit. Some clear caramel behind it and some pine as well. Lowish carbonation, fine, dry mouthfeel. Great flavour, super balance between the sweet caramel and the heavy hoppiness. Lots of pine, grassy and grapefruity hops. Super dryness. Extremely drinkable.
