Feb 6, 2009 poured from a 12oz twist off into wide mouthed glass. pours a deep redy with minimal head. aroma is a nice balance of hops and malt backbone. Lots of american hop character - very citrus-like. taste is immediately bitter, but quickly sweetens from the malt, finishes bitter and floral. lacking some biscuit and toasted character that I prefer in my hoppy beers, but still drinkable. Overall, a nice beer. I’d like to compare this to the Lucky13 side by side, but i don’t think I would be able to stand much after that.

Feb 6, 2009 Bottled. Pours a red/orangish color with a small white head. Very hoppy for a red ale which i like... alot. Not too over carbonated, and the hops were not as astringent as most lagunitas beers are usually. great beer.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle ca. 33cl from ølbutikken. no best before so i’ve got no idea if it is fresh or not.
clear orange/red, thick small offwhite head.
aroma is quite hoppy, very nicely hopped, underneath the hops i sense red fruits. marzipan, slight pine, slight flowers. supe aroma. as it warms up i get a slight dose of aged beer.
flavor is hoppy, dark fruits. totally tasty and refreshing.

Feb 4, 2009 Picked up single 12-oz bottle from Cellars Wine & Spirits in St. Paul, MN. Pours a clear reddish amber brew with a tin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of caramel malt, some light toffee, citrus zest and some light apple. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, citrus and flowery hops, a hint of toasted biscuit and some honey. Finish is semi-sweet with a caramel malt and light citrus/apple aftertaste.

Jan 31, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear reddish amber with a thin off-white head. Hoppy aroma with some malty caramel sweetness and a touch of alcohol. Very crisp with a malty sweet flavor up front and a big hop finish. Fantastic beer.

Jan 31, 2009 Pours deep red with aromas of caramelized sugars and deep fruit. Flavor of buttered toast, caramel, and a sweetness almost like honey. Also a very nice bitter hop on the end. Full bodied.

Jan 30, 2009 Red colored with a decent head. Strong hop aroma and flavor. Keeps a good brussels lace. Good balance for such a strong beer.

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle thanks to Lagunitasfan. Thanks for the hook up. Pours a dark red color with a large and fluffy white head, and lots of lacing. The aroma is nice; lots of hops, some rich caramel. The flavor is great; a huge caramel aspect, sweet and rich, some citrus hops some in strong also. The caramel malt is perfect to balance out the hops, not bitter but balanced. Very nice.
