Oct 28, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Holy hops, Batman, this lives up to the Lagunitas reputation. If I hadn’t known the style, I probably would have guessed IPA or maybe even impy IPA. There is some caramel backing there, and the color is nice, but it mainly smells and tastes like a load of hops - yum!

Oct 28, 2009 Bottle served in a tulip. Dark red-orange in color. Big tan head. Nose of prune juice and wheat bread crust. Its malty with hops for balance that show up on the palate and finish. Creamy mouthfeel, medium-full body.

Oct 23, 2009 Pours a medium brown color. Aroma is very floral hops. Initial taste is floral, but that is quickly overtaken by the creamy malt. For such a strong hops aroma, I am quite surprised by the malty finish. well balanced.

Oct 22, 2009 Very herbal, hoppy aroma. Pours red/amber with a tan head. Flavor is very hoppy, herbal, a touch nutty, and with caramel. Kind of like a super charged amber ale.

Oct 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep red, almost brown. Frothy white head. Resiny floral aroma. Has none of the malty backbone that a red should have. Tastes mostly like a typical west coast IPA think Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo but dark red. Not bad for what it is, but there isn’t much of a red ale here if that’s what you’re looking for.
