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!

I decided to track this down because I am really digging this style lately thanks to Yulesmith, Dead by Dawn, Gordon, and Red Devil. The color is no surprise, reddish-amber with almost no head. The intiial aromas are of pine needles, not cones, serious hops. There is a slight caramel aroma as well. The taste is a blast of green, leafy hops that I enjoy. I cannot seem to find the malt backbone to this beer, just blistering hops. There is some astringency in the mouthfeel that needles the palate. Overall, a nice flavor and aroma but a sipper due to the ABV/mouthfeel. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 03-19-2008 03:42:46

Bottle Pours a murky brownish-red with an off white head. Aroma is sweet malts, with floral and hints of hops. Carbination is good and a solid mouthfeel. Has a decent alcohol burn. A medium to full body. Has an oily texture. A solid finish with a good aftertaste. This is a hearty ale with lots of flavor and a good kick at 9%.

22 oz bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA. Pours out deep red with a medium off white head. Aroma is strong and full of malt, floral and pine hops, some light citrus. Flavor is full of those things and some grape/grapefruit type flavors. Extremely tasty, one of the better red styled ales I’ve ever had.

bottle: poured deep red... almost chum like, with a medium head. Smelled very floral hoppy and malty sweet. Flavor was smooth sweet malt with a good amount of bitterness. Hops flovors were citrusy.piney, and lingering bitterness. Alcohol was well balance. Overall: I wasn’t sure what I would think of this one, but it was tasty and quite pleasant.

Bottle via Hophead22. Pours a murky brownish red with thin qhite head. Aroma evident of floral hops, malt, pine, and sweetness. Flavor is similar with an addition of dried fruit and an pleasant alcohol burn. Normally this is bad, but with this one it was good. VERY pleasant aftertaste.

Bomber labled Shark Attack Double Red Ale. Pours murky dark copper-brown with a 2 finger creamy tan head that has great retention. Aroma is very sweet, lots of caramel, tofee, toasted bread, nougate, lots of citrus, pine, berries and a little dark fruit. Flavor is lots of caramel, citrus, toast, resinous hops, berries, dark fruits, molasses, brown sugar and lots of alcohol. Finish is burnt sugar, molasses, grapefruit and bitter hops. Palate is medium thickness slightly oily feel with a fairly dry finish and oily exit. Not bad stuff overall but the alcohol is a little overpowering.
