mgraider86 (5), Waterford, California, USA does not count Sep 3, 2008 Fruity aroma and poured a reddish copper color with a small amount of head. Light hoppiness, can taste caramel. Overall a great beer to have on hand. ucusty (1062), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Aug 28, 2008 copper pour. Hops and yeast on the nose. Thin bodied, over carbonated. malts, hops and bread Capa (738), Yokosuka, Japan Aug 27, 2008 Reddish gold in color with a small head. Molasses, biscuit malts, cranberry, and alcohol in the aroma. Strong molasses, malty, bread, and light hops for a flavor. carbonated body. Sorta boring with to much molasses. afireinside96 (425), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 25, 2008 12oz bottle served in a stem glass. Copper body topped by a thin layer of foam. Smells like grape jelly, odd. Grape carries into the flavor along with some doughy malt and fruitiness. Metallic taste in the finish. I don’t know if someone at the brewery played a prank but if not this is some odd stuff. Delirium (430), Santa Cruz, California, USA Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber-orange with a moderate, foamy white head. Aroma is citrus and earthy hops and somewhat sweet and bready malt. Flavor is moderately hoppy, with sweet caramel malt, plus some light fruits and nuttiness. The finish is rather hoppy, though without any particular character (just bitterness). Not going to blow away the craft-beer connoisseur, but with a balance of moderate hopping and sweet malt, it’s a solid amber ale, certainly above par for the style.
