Bartzilla (397), San Diego, California, USA May 7, 2006 This is one of my very favorites from Pizza Port. Reds aren’t supposed to be this hoppy. I am very glad it is. This stuff will grow hair on your nipples. Schultsc (396), Henderson, Nevada, USA Sep 18, 2005 Deep, dark mahogany color with a fine head. Substantial hops aroma with deep malt notes as well. Substantial body with minimal but well-balanced malt characteristics. Nice alcohol character with minimal sweetness. A delicious, very progressive red.

The beer pours a very dark red, almost brown color; the head was monstrous in size, creamy in texture and a beauteous light tan color with a thick sheet of lace to obscure the glass. Large malt sweet nose, the aroma of hops also present, light toasted grains, citrus crisp and fresh, a real nose pleaser with the start rich in malt, sweet and the top moderate to full in feel. Finish is stern in its acidity, the hops potent but pleasing to the palate, a quite clean and thirst quenching brew, another that I sampled multiple times, as I like to say a “Real Hoot”!
Aubrey (2557), Denver, Colorado, USA Mar 2, 2004 Updated: Oct 8, 2006Hazy and deep amber-red. Sharpish mouthfeel was "bitingly" good. Nice flavors and aromas of sweet orange and pine. Intense in many ways, but not over the top. All of its parts complemented each other wonderfully. Great beer! RERATE GABF ’06: Much better than I remembered (and it was pretty dang good before). Malts were rich and flavorful, with big caramel, Boston Baked Beans, ROAST, TOAST, caramel apple. Texture was fabulous, almost like a milkshake, with its rich smoothness. Very tasty and surprisingly balanced. egajdzis (2947), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 3, 2004 GABF2004... Poured a cloudy caramel color with a small off white head. Aroma was very sweet with fruity hops. Hoppy sweet malts with light bitterness.
