Jul 25, 2008 Nice, deep clear red color with a frothy tan head. Sweet caramel malt and citrus and mango hop aroma. Very hoppy flavor with a clean,lightly sweet, malt backbone and a perfect bitter finish. Good stuff.

Jul 25, 2008 Pour is a deep amber with a thin, quickly dissipating head. Pleasant grassy hop balanced by a sweet, biscuit-y malt. This is really good.

Jul 25, 2008 I feel let down. It looks good, it smells good and the first part of the taste is good but then finished with a metallic lingering aftertaste that I can’t forgive.

Jul 25, 2008 Woah, this is right up my alley. Just found another daily drinker. Love that it’s not that strong either. 6% is just right. An Amber with a tilt towards the hoppy side of the fence. Great beer.

Jul 22, 2008 Updated: Jul 16, 2009Deep amber with a foamy, thick 1.5" tan head. Balanced hop aroma with a strong floral presence. Aroma is also of strong caramel malt with a hoppy, spicy accent. Sediment in suspension is clearly visible in the glass. Full, delicious, balanced hop flavor that is heavy and very bitter. The caramel malt is an undertone. Smooth, light and creamy texture. So much character, you almost can’t handle it, but then you handle it. Consistency is medium-thick, and satisfying. Clean, bitter finish. These hopped up American red ales are the new IPAs. God blessed Texas and Amarillo hops. This could unseat your other favorite.
