smashteroid (227), USA Jun 11, 2008 Served cold from 22 oz. bottle. Pours a delicious amber/auburn color with a one-finger off-white head. Aroma includes hints of citrus, sweet malts, maybe even a hint of mango in the scent? Something definitely fruity about it. Medium bodied, flavor of malts and a touch of hop bitterness, but definitely not overwhelming. A very nice strong ale! Zinister (1198), Houston, Texas, USA Jun 11, 2008 Rating #800! Pours a beautiful red copper color. Has a great 1" head that slowly turns a bit of a carbonated cream head. Nose of crisp apples, somewhat sweet malts and some good hop spices as well. Reminds me of a softer DIPA. Taste is mighty fine...with a great load of hops and a nice malty backbone to hold it up. Creamy, but not full...just perfect for what I like. Finish has that pithy citrus finish like some DIPAs as well. Very nice. snoot (277), Anaheim, California, USA Jun 10, 2008 Pours a nice rich copper color. Thin head that leaves some fine lacing on the glass. Aroma is hops, sweet, and some spice. Hoppy up front, but mellows very quickly into a wonderfully pleasant bitter ending. SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Jun 10, 2008 Pours a clear amber with a good size foamy white head. Lots of roasty caramel malt in the arome, with a touch of spicy hops. Flavor is more of the same. Slightly bitter at first, and smoothing out. Not bad at all. thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 9, 2008 Probably the best American Strong Ale I have had. If anyone out there knows of a better one let me know. Love the label and the beer inside is quite tasty. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Jun 8, 2008 Bottle pours a clear copper/amber color with a thin layer of head. Aroma is sweet, spicy, and hoppy. Flavor is very hoppy and bitter initially, sweet citrus and a mixture of spices folllows, with a slightly dry and bitter aftertaste. Alcohol is fairly noticeable. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Jun 8, 2008 Pours a fairly clear copper color, with a small off white head. Smells of some bready yeast, sharp fruits, apples and plums stand out the most. The flavor had some barley wine characters to it, had a noticeable alcohol burn and a sharp yeasty flavor mixed with the relentless fruits. Pretty nice hops show up as well, especially in the finish and aftertaste. Pretty nice brew. ansermadide (496), Kyle, Texas, USA Jun 7, 2008 Red-orange color... aroma is sweetly hoppy. Flavor hoppy, with a stinging PUNCH. Perfect. Sweet, light, syrupy body...
