May 29, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of a trade from a while ago. Thanks! Pours a clear, orange-amber color with a slight haze; thin off-white head with patchy lacing. Basic brown sugar and red fruit maltiness in the nose; some tea-like tannic presence. Medium mouthfeel: brown sugar, tea leaves, and some caramel; not a lot of sweetness or chewiness; just a basic, drinkable, tea-infused red; minimal hops. Medium finish: brown sugar, tea, and some dryness; very general bitterness, partly tannic and partly hops.

May 7, 2008 22 oz. Bomber: Pours a dark amber with a frothy off-white head that is mostly lasty leaving nice lacing. Sweet malty aroma has hints of bread dough and caramel. Flavor is sweet and sour(caramel apples) that is thin on the palate while finishing with a mild bitterness. I found this refreshing and enjoyable!
