May 16, 2008 Bottle from South Bay. Pours out a dark red color without much of a head, then out of no where it kind of gets a nice tan little head on it. Smell is full of hops, caramel, malts, sugars, grass, and a touch of citrus. Taste is similar, but it has alot of hops - very Pizza Port like, smooth yet brutal but that is what makes it good. Not as bitter as I thought it would be, but it is plenty bitter to satisfy hop heads. Really good stuff, and actually my glass went so quick, I had no idea what happened.

Mar 21, 2008 Courtesy of toncatcher. Pours a clean, ruby red body with a relatively sticky, beige foam. The aroma is quite earthy with notes of piney/peppery hops dominating. The flavor is bitter orange/grapefruit peel, juicy pine needles, sourdough pretzel, and a subtle chedder cheese flavor buried in there.

Mar 30, 2009 Bottle. Hazy red body with a nice creamy off white head. The aroma is caramel, berries, lots of fruit and lots of hops. Complex flavour of sweet malt, fruity hops and barley. Its leads to a fruity tasty finish. The body is smooth and creamy. The alcohol is very well hidden. Great stuff.
