Jun 12, 2009 "Sweet hoppy beer smoke. Dark copper body to reddish brown with a 1” tan cap looks good but unfortunately there was zero lacing. Standard west coast hop aroma with pool water and a sweet toffee finish. What’s with this aroma the more I smell the more of it I don’t like, I swear I just got some arm pit in here. first sip is hoppy but not as strong as the aroma. Taste is fairly IPAish but with a richer darker malt presence. There is an pine flavour that unfortunately turns soapy on some sips. This diffenatly full flavored and bold, but it’s coming across syrupy almost like this was made from concentrate and not enough water was added. Whatever this is good enough to drink but it has no personality of its own. Dammit I tasted the pool water again."

May 29, 2009 Nice looking dark amber beer with a big fluffy creamy head. Aroma is very interesting. Big dark malt jumps out, lots of roasty notes, maybe even hints of coffee and chocolate, the hops are there too. The flavor is more of the same, hoppiness with the skeleton of a stout, and some nice alcohol warmth. Interesting beer.

May 22, 2009 Bottle... Found my notes from a while back. Very amber with white head. VEry thick malty smell and also smells of alcohol. Decent hop level. But mostly sugary, honey and carmel tasting malts. Can’t beat the price and quality.

May 18, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks tomer! Clear amber color with a beige head. Aroma of pine needles, some resin, hints of flowers and a bit of toasted malt. Very bitter resinous flavor with caramel and some alcohol, especially towards the finish. Medium to full-bodied, a bit oily.

This tasted like your standard hoppy red ale, with a little too much malt and a little too heavy. Alcohol however is very well hidden behind the sweetness.
I had a bottle fresh, then I had an older bottle and this beer really needs to be consumed right away. Fresh it is well balanced, and pretty darn drinkable, could be a good session beer. But the second the hops start to fade, this beer just gets too sweet.

May 5, 2009 reddish-brown pour with a light tan head/ Malty aroma. The malt flavor is abundant in this beer, has some dryness and a little sweetness. Leaves a thick lacing on the glass. Its an OK beer.
