Pours a clear ruby/amber color with a thin head. Aroma is of sweet malt. The flavor is mostly sweet malt and not anywhere near the amount of hops as in the description. I thought it was a little thin and bland for a Rock Bottom Chicago beer.

Sep 7, 2008 Hoppy with roasted malt with a bitter finish. There wasn’t much memorable about this one and probably my least favorite of the day (Hefe, Saison, Redline Imp Stout, Dry-hopped Oatmeal stout, Bourbon Barrel Barleywine(YUM))

Aug 18, 2008 A dark smmoth red, from what I remember its close to the Yorktown version - maybe a little smoother and creamier but it all balances out to similar scores. It does lose a point for coming in a plastic cup. The resturant has a great rooftop deck, but what makes glass unusable is beyond me. Too nice a place for plastic.

Aug 1, 2008 tap at chicago- where are the hops I was promised. a strange roasted peat malt thing going on that I did not enjoy. the description of this beer does not capture it at all.

Jul 25, 2008 Updated: Jul 28, 2008On tap at the brewpub in downtown Chicago. Pours a light amber color with a thin white head. The aroma is caramel and malty. The taste was quite hoppy for an amber ale, some caramel malts and a smooth clear finish. Some banana notes also. A nice example of the style.

May 23, 2008 Copper pour with smaller white head. Hints of caramel on the nose with minor hops. Flavor was sweet malty with a touch of roast. Finish has a bitter bite, with a creamy mouthfeel.
