Commercial Description:
This deep ruby red color comes from both German and British malts. It is generously spiced with local hops to have lingering bitterness and a romantic hop bouquet in the Northwest tradition.

On tap at Rock Bottom, Seattle. Reddish copper, thin beige head. Sugar candy, bit of whisky, sweet malt character. Basically thin and bad, dry malt finish.

Interesting amber, I would have thought this to be more of an APA, upon first taste. Overly hopped, with a less than weak maltiness.

Tap at Festival 04. They must have improved it since the others rated it. Nothing wonderful, but an easy drinking session beer

This mahogany colored ale was quite spicy, almost pepery--in any case--interesting flavor. Sour/bitter afertaste and quite spicy (what is it??). The most flavorful of the Rock Bottom beers I sampled, with novel flavoring, but still only a mediocre brew.
