Sour(?) malt dominates, hoppy towards the lingering finish. Almost a stale taste.

If this is the same thing as "Dry Hopped Red" than I’ve had it - it lives up to that name with a nice reddish hue and an arid hop action that dominates.

Malty, red ale. Pours nice. Good brew.

Tap. Reddish hazy color. Tart citrus flavor with spruce. Good body.

Medium red color, medium head. Medium bodied red ale. Roasted malts, slightly sweet. Nice flavor. Slightly hoppy. Spicy with a touch of spruce. Good balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Nice tasting beer. Etched/painted beer bottle.

I really don’t consider this a red or amber. Way too much hops ... tasted more like an IPA with the dry-hopped aroma and flavor. Still, this was pretty good regardless of style. Deep reddish hue, some soft caramel flavors. Huge hop aroma and mouth feel (sort of the hop pucker element). Maybe a little unbalanced in this respect. But still, a good autumn ale.

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2003 Wonderful. The aroma was of strong apple and bitterness. The flavor was full of floral tones with an apple-like after taste. Huge creamy head, and just the right amount of carbonation.

Rogue beers are a predicament to me. Some i love, some i hate. There isnt much middle ground. This one goes into the latter category. Just another one in the list of unimpressive beers that all have a very similar flavor, or lack there of.

metallic and hoppy, another solid effort
