Oct 7, 2009 Bottle at Peculier pub. Poured a dark brown with a decent beige head. Nose is denominated by the sweet, roasted malt aroma; the hops barely break through. In the flavor you can detect a bit more of the hop character, although the backbone of this beer was definitely the malts, which made the beer quite sweet with notes of caramel and creamy toffee. Nicely bodied,very filling and smooth. Pretty darn tasty.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of roasted and caramel, pine and a little orange for the hops, light broth for the yeast, with hints of date and pepper. Head is creamy/rocky, light tan with a red tint, with fair lacing and is mostly lasting. Flavor starts moderately acidic and the long finish is moderately to heavily bitter. Palate is medium, watery and has a lively carbonation and a very dry finish. A little simple on flavor, but the aroma is something to come back for.

Oct 2, 2009 Light on the nose but heavy on the tongue. Great drinkable but not watery palate. Nice hoppy flavor. Best red ale that I have ever drank.

Oct 2, 2009 Bottle - thanks beerbaron420. Pours a reddish amber with a finger of beige head. Nose is rich with citrus hops and light florals. Yes! A hop-dominated IPA for sure. Nice amount of citrus and florals up front with some fruity notes and caramel before a lingering floral bitter finish. Nice.

Oct 1, 2009 Draft at GABF 2009. Pours a clear medium amber with a medium foamy white head and decent lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, earth, and piney C-hops. Flavor is not quite as hoppy as I expected. Maybe I am just too used to west coast IPAs. Sweet caramel malt, earth, resin, pine, and a tiny bit of citrus. Body is medium with some mild lasting bitterness.

Sep 27, 2009 A reddish amber pour with a medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is biscuit, toast, grassy hay, citrus and pine. Flavor is excellently balanced: A sweet caramel note gives way to resinous citrus pine, and some toasty malt notes. Palate is medium to full bodied with a stickey smacking finish. Excellent balance, malt sweetness, and sessionability.
