Jun 1, 2008 From a twist-off bomber. Copper colored with a thin diminished head. Nose is sweet and resiny with pineyness and citrus coming through, along with some sweetish wort smells. Taste is very fruity and hoppish in the front, sweet in the middle and end. Not as dry as expected. But nice nonetheless.

May 31, 2008 Poured from a 1 pint 6 oz. bottle into pint glass so this rating is on my second pour. Pours a brownish red copper color with 1 finger beige head that sticks around the entire drink. Aroma is heavy hops, i also smell sugar and malt. The flavor is really hoppy for a red ale. This beer is kinda wavering for me, at times its a little too bitter and at other times its really smooth. For 8.3% ABV it isn’t very noticeable the only time it actually stood out was after my 5th or sixth gulp. This is a great beer, the flavor has something new to offer every time you take a drink.

May 31, 2008 Updated: Aug 11, 2009reddish brown with strong white head. nose has a lot of hops. flavor has hints of caramel malt and a nice hop bitterness but not much hop flavor. a very nice beer with a good deal of depth.
-re-rate:
solid hop flavor, but the large amount of munich malt and residual sweetness mutes it, while providing a malt backbone that becomes cloying after awhile. a solid beer, but either a sweeter malt profile or less residual sweetness might profile the hops and make for a better drinking experience

May 30, 2008 Pours copper with a large white head. Smells like Lagunitas. Not marijuana...well, close...but incredibly aromatic hops with just the right touch of malty sweetness. More of the malt comes out in the flavor, creating a very well-balanced (but still hoppily delicious) American-style anniversary brew.

May 30, 2008 Nice ruby red pour with solid and retaining head. Decent blended hop[ aromas and flavors sort of dance with spicy, caramel syrupy maltyness. Not a bad brew and one that explores a few different dimensions. one more please.
