May 11, 2008 In short: An intense fruity hop-fix
How: Tap at Blue Tusk (Syracuse NY)
The look: Clear copper body with a medium beige head
In long: Strawberries wrapped in smooth caramel working admirably well with the coniferous and resinous hops. The type of hop-fix I came to expect from Willimantic. Medium-high sharp bitterness. Long finish. Carbonation appropriately aggressive. Quite tasty, somewhat intense and rather unconventional. Sometimes you just feel like something different, unusual, intense and aggressive, for some it means a S&M session, for me it means an Ithaca Casazilla.

May 1, 2008 Bottle at DLD08. Clear orange pour with mild tan head. Nose is caramel malts, mild dried fruits, some honey and citrus. Sip starts with a mildly sharp piney bitter followed by citrus hops and caramel malts. Finishes mildly bitter. Not bad, pretty easy drinking.

Apr 28, 2008 Pours dark amber/copper. Sweet caramel malt aroma and some hops. Flavor is much the same, with a touch of dark fruit and maybe some honey. Average IPA body slightly sticky.

Apr 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep amber with thin off white head. Big malty aroma followed by piney hops and berries. Tasty. Kind of slick. Not very bitter, at least not for an IPA or Red ale or whatever the hell this is. Get a bit of grapefruit in the flavor though. Very decent beer. Worth trying.

Mar 24, 2008 Monstrously hoppy red ale. Hmmm.. 2 things I don’t particularly care for - hops and reds. We’ll see. Clear amber body with a big tan head leaving good lacing. Fruity and piney aroma, with caramel undertones. Very grassy and floral bitterness upfront, with some sweet malt notes coming through. Incredibly long lasting bitter finish, with big hints of grapefruit and melon. Not a bad brew, and pretty easy to drink.

Mar 7, 2008 This beer is very drinkable. It has a nice amber hue with big hop aroma. Taste is a little disappointing given the aroma, but is a decent brew. Would drink again!
