Pours deep brown with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, lots of fruity hops and some roasted caramel. Medium carbonation, fine, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is super hoppy, caramel, some cellar notes. Centennial, grass dominates. Great. Jukkabro (3007), Tampere, Finland
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 24, 2009 Dark red-brown colored with hazy appearance. Little yellow head. Nutty and licoricy aroma with thin alcohol. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is drier with strong hops and licorice, some tangy biting tone also present. Aftertaste dries still with mild alcohol and lemon. Well, somehow one dimensional. checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA

The malt and hops combine into a very nice aroma, reminding some vanilla too, fruity, true American character, also buttery, and with light earthy traces. Medium body strength, caramel flavor, some residual sweetness (just the necessary) and strong resiny bitterness; there are hints of bitter orange too. Balanced, very enjoyable, solid.

Pleasant aroma - spicy & sweet. Taste is more malty than hoppy - nutty sweetness. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel with medium/low carbonation. Perfectly brewed to style. blutt59 (2099), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 29, 2009 (Bottle labeled "Shark Attack Double Red Ale" from summer 08) So... this beer actually makes a pretty decent barely wine... of course I would like to try one fresh, however, this is not bad. Pours a murky brown with basically no head except a minimal beige froth. Sweet sugary toasted malt/barley aroma, caramel and faded oxidized grapefruit and resiny hops. Sugary toasted barley first taste, like candied near burnt barley, perfectly bitter, toffee, oxidized citrus hops add a nice complex character. Medium bodied with a sugary mouthful and dull sparse large carbonation. sayravai (3729), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 27, 2009 (Bottled, 0.66l, 9.0% ABV) Very hazy red with a medium, slightly tanned head. Fruity and caramely-malty aroma with slight alcohol warmth and hints of white cheese. Quite strongly hoppy (but slightly stingy), sweetish flavor with toffee-caramely maltiness, hints of alcohol, and some exotic fruitiness. Medium-bodied, quite smooth-carbonated palate. Good, but not quite outstanding.
