Pretty decent all around. I liked this beer, definitely a fan of red ales. This one I would recommend as an intermediate beer.

Aug 21, 2008 Chris_o’s GBBF Shindig 08. American IPA aroma. Quite thick and intense. Sweet clean malt and lots of hops. Some pleasant fruit in the finish. Not my thing, but OK. No big objections.

Aug 12, 2008 In short: A well malted juicy fruity tasty sweet kind-of-IPA. Excellent.
How: Bottle 12oz, drank fresh
The look: Clear redish-copper body topped by a medium beige leaving good lacing
In long: Lots of fruity hops on the nose. Super satisfying mouthfeel, a bunch of red fruits (including strawberries!) wrapped in luscious caramel. Malt bill kind of reminded me of rye-based beers. Plenty of juicy fruity hops for a smooth but tasty bitterness. Never harsh, somewhat sweet, like a fruity dessert. The type of beer I’d like to drink more often, if I wasn’t so damn busy drinking other beers.

Aug 8, 2008 Pours light red with a moderate white head. Very hoppy and malty, a very good balance between the two. A liitle more malty upfront with a good lingering hop flavor in the aftertaste. This beer tatse stronger than it is and does not go down very easy due to high maltieness. Very well rounded solid beer!!

Aug 6, 2008 Had this at Chris O’s pre GBBF tasting, 02-08-08 cheers for a wonderful day Chris Pours dark amber with off white head. Some oakiness on the nose, appears oak aged but apparently isn’t. Some spirit, sweet but tangy edge with some toffee, hops bursting through nice soft mouthfeel lovely beer, vanilla at end, really nice.
