3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Hazy red body, off-white creamy thick head.
Interesting aroma... fruity hops that almost have a bright, fruity brett character. Maybe it isn’t brett, but it is a fleshy, tomato-like thing that maybe I’ve noticed in a bretty beer. Fizzy body, fleshy fruit hops. Some toasty malt. It isn’t too bad, but just not in my alley. The flavor is kind of old tasting, but I’m not sure it was there to begin with. That and the fizziness makes it awkward.

Pours a cloudy red. I'm really not impressed with this beer. Pretty one note.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Mad Mex. Poured darker brown with decent head. Aroma of sweet resinous hops. Lightly bitter taste that lingers. Average.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a chestnut brown with a full off white head. Aroma is unmistakeable cascade hop and maltiness. Taste is bready graininess, a touch of alcohol then passing to hop finish. Very well built and quite enjoyable.

Large tan head with good retention and lace. Clear, amber color. Nose of malt, caramel, really faint citrus? fairly bland. Body is almost medium and fairly lifeless, little oily, little grainy. Mildly sweet malts, caramel, little nut and light fruit, worty.Fairly dry finish with little balancing bitterness. Big ole, MEH. Thanks to Maria for a couple bottles of this one.

Bottle. Pours a murky brownish with medium foamy head. Mild hop aroma. There are some hints of citrus hop flavor and a solid malt backbone. Not too bitter. Pretty good overall.

Bottle from wegmans. Pours clear copper with a medium sized off white head. The aroma has a lot of hoppy notes.. A good bit of astringency. The taste is dry, bitter, and very hoppy. Really nice.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 3, 2013 Pours cloudy, amber with ruby highlights. An off white head of creamy foam that fell slowly and left a cap with some fine , sticky lace. Nose is toasted malt, fat, sweet and nutty. There is the faintest whisper of chocolate. Light yeast. Hops are earthy with orange, grapefruit and dark fruits behind that. Light sweet pine and a little dank and oak as it warms. Taste is mellow and malt forward with toasty caramel, bread and grain. Toffee sweetness. Hops are oily and bitter with some light sweet pine, citrus and floral. Body is a little on the heavy side with a little butter and prickly carbonation. Finishes dry with a short lived bitter on the back palate and another whisper from the chocolate as the malt steals the show again to bring it to bittersweet. It’s not boozy but it is rich.

Very enjoyable, strong hops with lots of flavor and smoothness. Nice amber color but not a strong aroma

Perfect malt profile with a thick caramel chewiness. Big and hoppy and slightly
sweet. Really good red ale/IPA.
