22 oz bottle. Poured a mahogany color. Taste is a large range of flavors, from sweet malt, to roasted malt flavor, ending with a nice hoppy bitterness. All the strong flavors are nicely balanced, although my girlfriend thought it was maybe a little too sweet, and I thought the hops was a little too strong. Whatever. Really like what they’ve done here.

Aug 31, 2008 Poured a reddish copper, sticky lacing. The malts were very well pronounced. Toasted caramel, sweet, balanced with some citrus hops. Had 2 bombers of this.

Aug 30, 2008 Bright copper color and flavor. The head is white and leaves lacy reminants that stick to the sides of the glass, leaving rings after each sip. Strong hops present in this beer that leave a piney/citrus flavor on the tongue. Malty finish but the hops stick around long after you taste. Close to an IPA but with more toasted carmel malt flavor. Alcohol is not over powering but definitely present.

Aug 30, 2008 Pours a really nice ruby red with a thin off white head. Aroma is pine hops and malt.
Flavor is pretty nice. A little bitter but more malty than anything. A really nice well balanced beer.

Aug 30, 2008 Poured a heftly looking copper hue with a nice tan head. Aroma had strong caramel malt notes and nice bittering hops. Flavor has a cloying note to it initially and that was balanced out by a hops/alcohol mix. A nice rich finish.
