Jan 2, 2009 12 oz bottle from Bev4less. Pours a translucent dark amber with a fine creamy beige head. The aroma is moderately strong with sweet malted barley, caramel and sweet spices. The taste is biter hops forward with good piney hops set in a caramel malt backdrop. The mouthfeel is full and silky smooth with lively carbonation. The finish is long and sweet with lingering caramel. Overall: This is a very sessionable ale that should also make a great marinade for brats.

Dec 31, 2008 I really like this brew. It goes down so nice with Mexican. Good fruit on the nose, nice malt with terrific bitter hop finish. Great color too.

Dec 29, 2008 2007 Bottle - Pours amber brown with a small off white head, aroma is candy malt...sticky flavour, finishes cleaner and pine resiny, I do like the alcohol content...seems less than other Lagunitas labels, but what I don’t like is how it tastes just like 4 of their other beers...malt bomb/hop bomb can only go so far....

Dec 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Pour is clear brownish red with a big white head that hangs around for awhile. Smell is mostly hops with notes of caramel malts. Taste is sweet malts with some pine hops. Decent lacing. A good brew that is a little heavy but still worth a drink.

Dec 27, 2008 i dont drink too many red ales. This one has a nice fruity nose. very pretty amber color. they went very liberal on the hops. the mouthfeel is nice and creamy. flavor is a little malty in the middle. mostly a big sweet hop nose, sweet malty (slightly slightly roasty) taste, and a clean bitter finish. feels kinda heavy, but I have no problem with that. This is a really nice beer.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear but deep red brown with a vigorous tan head the color of which reminds me of cotton candy spun from maple sugar. Ample hop aromas full of complex citrus and resin filled pine greet the nose, backed up by ample sweet malt. Good amount of lacing as the beer is consumed. Thick malty mouthfeel reminiscent of a good double IPA, but a bit sweeter. Finish again brings up IPA comparisons, but the bitterness is not as bracing.
