Aug 12, 2007 12 oz. bottle from jimbowood. Thanks Jimbo. Pours a clear reddish copper color with a small disappearing beige head. The aroma is caramel malts, pine and citrus hops, and earthiness. The flavor is very much the same with good balance. Medium/full bodied and smooth drinking. Solid brew.

Jul 20, 2007 Sort of an underdeveloped hairy eyeball, interesting idea, a little underwhelming on the palate, plenty of bitterness, not enough malt character.

Jul 16, 2007 Strong sweet caramel malt aroma. Clear amber color with a large white head that quickly goes away. Caramel malt taste through out with a slight hop bite at the end. Creamy palate.

Jul 7, 2007 Updated: Jul 15, 2007This ale is excellent. ’Red ales’ are a favorite style of mine as they mix the high hops of IPAs with the a finish of a weak belgian. Very nice dark copper pour with a opaque head that was not as prominent as pronounced. Aroma is of cinnamon and coriander.

Jul 3, 2007 Thin frothy head of fine bubbles. Decent carbonation. Sweet malty aroma and kind of vegetal. Hint of cinnamon in the background. Light hops presence. Kind of a mish mash aroma. Color is a bright crimson. Very nice color. Sweet and malty flavor with a bit of smoke, citrus fruit pith, resinous hops and grains. Nice alcohol warming as it goes down. Finishes kind of slick and malty. Strong hops bitterness and lingering dryness. A decent brew.

Jun 4, 2007 Appearance: Pours a marvelously clear copper body with a white, diminishing head. The lacing was thin and uneven.
Smell: Caramel malts in the nose with a nice bit of toastiness. The hops are piney with fruity undertones.
Taste: Light bready caramel malts joined by crisp, hoppy flavors of pine resins and grapefruit. Very tea-like at times. Herbaceous hops round out the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, with a pleasingly smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Though the hops can be a little cutting at times its a rather likeable red ale, and quite quaffable.

May 2, 2007 Updated: Jul 13, 2007Deep reddish color - pretty lively level of carbonation. mmmm, I like this one - big and hoppy, nice lingering bitter finish - pretty dense mouthfeel. Makes me want to lick my lips - much more enjoyable for me than most of their other beers I’ve tried.
