Commercial Description:
Is it really safe to paddle out in our waters? It’s impossible to know for sure. What we do know is that this is an incredibly distinctive and bold American red ale that attacks your taste buds with lethal amounts of hops, which are balanced by a boat load of Crystal malt. If none of this fazes you, then maybe swimming in the shark filled waters is exactly where you belong. We’ll see you in the lineup!

Got it at Binny’s Glen Ellen. Pretty excited to crush this one. Pours red, with a big tan head. Nose is a ton of great hops and some caramel. Flavor is hoppy, chocolatey, caramelly with a long, bitter finish. Awesome!

Bottle from Binny’s Lakeview. I think I’ve realized that these double reds with huge amounts of Crystal malt are not my cup of tea. Nose attacks you with biting caramel malts and big hops. The hops are well overpowered by the malts, however, which I consider a down fall. It is pretty, a nice deep red/brown. It’s an okay beer, but I’ll pass it up for wipeout next time.

Bottle: Pours hazy deep amber with a bubbly light tan head. Very nice aroma of both malt and hop richness. Toasted vanilla and honey with a rye-like richness and an assertive pine presence (spruce). Slick and fairly light bodied for the ABV. A rich flavor without being sticky at all. Nice malt presence, nice bready and rye-like presence along with toasted vanilla, minty suggestions from the hops and lots of pine/spruce character. Has a long bitter finish. Nicely balanced, great stuff.

Bottle. Kind of a murky, brown with radiant ruby highlights. Thick! Aroma of hops, caramel, molasses, hops! Taste is similar with a big alcohol taste. Creamy body. Loved it!

Bottle. Pours dark amber red, small beige head. Aroma of caramel, dark fruit, hops, and something a little burnt. Taste is similar with heay caramel, fruit accent, and bitter finish. Nice double red. Body is full and smooth. Overall, a solid brew.

Amber-red color, with a thick beige head, sweet toasty, caramelized malt nose, with some dried raisiny, datey, pruney fruity accents, with some toffeeish, cookie dough notes, with a light floral hop leafy, candied lemon peel aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet toasted, caramelized malt, fruity character, of dried raisins, prunes, figs, with a buttery, toffeeish, faint burnt brown sugar note, some nice flowery hop piney, leafy, citrusy accents, leading towards a warming, malty, hop leafy bitterness finish.

22oz bottle. Acquired in trade. Ruby red pour with a thin head of wispy tiny bubbles. Surprisingly strong caramel aroma with hops obvious but secondary. The flavor is much the same with the caramel flavor really stealing the show. I was expecting more hops, but I’m quite happy with this beer.
