Apr 26, 2008 A- Amber in color, small but sustained off white head.
S- Smells somewhat floral and very hoppy. Sweet malts also provide a dominate factor in the nose.
T- Subtle hops and a somewhat overbearing malt presence. Caramel and a bit syrupy.
M- Thick and highly carbonated.
D- Pretty drinkable. I’m not a big fan of red ales and this is very characteristic of the style with a bit more pronounced hops.

Nov 23, 2007 On tap at Portsmouth Brewing in NH--Rich orange-tawny body with a nice fluffy white head. Superb nose of fresh PNW hops and crisp, full-bodied maltiness. Better than most fresh hops this year in the Northwest. Brewer told us that they next day aired the hops from Washington State. Waves of complex hops flavor. Great great great!

Sep 19, 2007 (Draft @ brewpub) Nice fresh hoppy flavor...Medium-dark amber, somewhat cloudy. Very small off-white head. Aroma mostly fruity, a bit flowery with some light caramel. Medium-full mouthfeel. Taste is light-medium bitter, lightly fruity over light caramel. Light lingering bitter aftertaste. Pleasant overall, pretty well-balanced, maybe could stand a touch more maltiness. Currently listed as an IPA here - bartender said it was an amber. My vote based on taste would be for APA.

Oct 4, 2006 Updated: Oct 5, 2006Moderate head. Very dark copper. Caramel hop aroma. Caramel and hop, hop, hop flavour. Reminds me of "Red Moon" when I mix Arctic Red and Full Moon.
