Commercial Description:
A wickedly tasty red ale packed with a massive hop flavor and full aroma from dry-hopping with whole flowers. Specially brewed with all European malts and West Coast whole flower hops. The result - a rich ruby red color, lacy collar and a feast of hop aroma!

very bracing hops, but seemed a little too much to balance with the malt profile. use of european malts wasn’t evident, but seemed of quality nonetheless

Poured deep clear amber color, nearly brown, with a small off-white head. Aroma is well balanced between malts and hops with a definite aroma and flavors of caramel malts and floral hops. Medium-bodied and very drinkable.

Deep red, almost brown, appearance with a large, tan head and good lacing. Aroma needed some coaxing before the caramel malts and subdued hops came around. Taste is caramel malt, soft fruit and flowery hops. Medium bodied with a fairly dry, medium length finish. Reminiscent of a potent amber ale.

Brewfest NY 08. Man i wish i was able to write down notes at the fest, but it was pouring rain and I had an umbrella in one hand, and my drinking glass in the other. I remember this being good though. Obviously need to try it again.

Sampled at the NY Brewfest on 9/12. Not able to give a very accurate rating due to the sheer number of brews sampled. One of the better brews of the night. They have caught my attention as a brewery between this and midnight wit.

This beer had a nice floral aroma that lent well to the floral taste of the hops. Not too overpowering and with very little aftertaste, this red packs alot of flavor into you sip and does not disappoint. It was billed to me as an IPA so i was expecting a harsher hop finish but I was pleasantly surprised.
