3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Lightly hazed amber, thick light tan creamy head. A somewhat complex IPA aroma of florals, citrus, and light pine, with softer underlying tones of chocolate, nut, and graham cracker. Flavor is dominated by the citrus and floral hops, with only a slight sweet malty backbone noted late. Definitely one sided here, but ok by me. Medium bodied and creamy, light carbonation, dry hoppy finish. Good stuff if you’re looking for a hop fix...

Ruby color with a big, hoppy aroma. Smooth hoppy flavor that was really good.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Coppery color with a strong hop aroma. No carbonation and very easy to swallow. Pretty good!

thanks to firemoose15 for sharing the wealth from his bomber. very red when poured, alot more so than any other "red" beer ive ever seen, capped by a thin layer of white creamy foam. citrus and grass come out of the nose, with further inspection revealing some spices and malts. flavor was more complex than most ipa’s, i actually wondered if this was an imperial at the time. there are alot of caramel malts present, so their sweetness balances the hops very well. also a bit of spicyness shows at the end of the sip. again, alot more body than most ipa’s, almost creamy, with a distinct hop bite on the tail, but not enough bitterness to take away from the rest of the flavors.

Couleur orangée tirant vers le cuivrée. Ample mousse blanche parsemé de grosses bulles savonneuses et adhérant bi en à la paroi du verre. Arômes, toujours un peu muette, d’agrumes allant vers le pamplemousse rose, légèrement conifère. Belle balance agrumes amers contre le malt biscuit, un brin de caramel malgré la forte dose de houblon impliquée. Corps d’épaisseur moyenne adéquat pour le style. En fût chez McNeill’s, 22 Mai 2005.

Almost copper in color. Bubbly head. Roasted malt aroma with hint of fruity hops. Very different from their Dead Horse. With all the malt coming out in this one, tastes more like a brown ale. Slightly sweet finish. Cheers!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber in color with large white head with large loose bubbles. Aroma is of toasted malt, hoppy-spicy/citrus aroma. Sweet caramel flavor.

Bottle courtesy of ChazyRPh, very fine brew as a "throw in". Will agree with previous two that I was expecting something different. This had some very subtle amber notes but for the most part is a big hoppy, malty ipa. Very well done. Aroma hurts the score a little but could drink this brew anytime.
