pretty amber red color, short lived off white head, sticky lacing. smell citrus, malt and pine. overwhelming taste of Spanish Peanut, metal, caramel hops arrive late and hang on. Coats the mouth.

Good Stuff! On tap, Thanks Jeff! Its got that Northwest hop nose. Cascade like, mmmm. Good flavors, just right for a Red. Minimal bitterness, sweet earthy malt and slightly smokey, well mixed with hop flavors of citrus and pine. Has a nice palate. One of my flavorites.

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2011 Bottle. Pours a reddish amber with a smallish off-white head. Aroma and flavor are some caramel and sweetish malt, citrus, spicy hops. Well-balanced and tasty. Good session ale, but the 6.5% might be a bit high for that.

Nice aroma here, citrus hops and sweet malt. On the palate, this one is fairly medium bodied with flavors of citrusy hops, caramel, sweet malt, spruce and milk chocolate.

12 oz bottle into English pint. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a medium beige head that dissipates in a couple minutes; cobwebby lace is left on the glass. Aroma is very floral and fruity; strong in pine, too. Taste is bittersweet and smoky. Carbonation is medium, body is medium-full. Excellent.

Dark, a little clear amber, looks good, light tan head forms a decent ring.. nose at first is nice, lots of caramel and rye but then comes a big wet dog note that totally kills it... the taste is equally bad, I’m drinking wet do water with spicey finsh...don’t bother

12 oz. bottle- Pours clear dark red with a nice off white head, aroma is similar to an IPA, very citrusy, I can smell the hops in this, a very pleasant suprise. The taste is citrusy and mildly hoppy, but with a malty backbone, that red ale taste is there, but more hops, not bad. Body is medium, carbonation is medium, Overall I liked it, not a bad beer at all.

Amber with a thick tan head. Citrusy hops on the nose...smells like an IPA. Tastes like a dialed-down IPA as well. Orange/Grapefruity hops balanced by some creamy caramel malt. Also some roasted malt, honey and hard water notes. Dry finish. Great session brew.
