Nov 4, 2007 My Bottom Line:
Dark fruit and roasted nuts are ably balanced out by earthy and leafy hoppiness in this able-bodied quencher.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the hazy reddish brown.
-Plantane bread subtleties rise in the nose upon warming.
-The head dies rather quickly in the glass.
-The fruitiness is raisiny and sometimes appears as cherries.
-The hops do contribute some calculated bitterness.
-I’m not sure this follows any style really; Brown Ale? Red Ale? Imperial Mild?
On tap at the brewpub.

Feb 21, 2007 Pours copper with a thin tan head. Smells of fresh hops, and sweet malt. Tastes hoppy with a nice amount of bitterness balanced against a raisony finish.

Jul 11, 2006 Tap at the brewpub. Copper coloured. Woody/spicy hop aroma. Fresh dry-hopped resinousness. Very dry flavour. Good balance. Lingering hoppy resiny flavour. Nicely balanced. Very similar to the Pig Red but with the hop flavour bumped up a notch. Fairly fruity as well, with nice sweet cherry/berry flavour.
