Apr 10, 2008 $20 for a black swingtop ceramic bottle from Sherbrooke Liquors in Edmonchuk. Had this alongside the Lagunitas Imperial Red. THE IMPERIAL RED SHOWDOWN!! This came across as the bigger beer, but less refined. Cloudy red-brown with a dense tan head. Heavy resinous hop aroma dominates. Thick malts bolster the palate, but the hop character is all bitter and resinous, a little harsh even when paired alongside the Lagunitas, which has a better malt-hop balance, and a lot more fruitier aromatics that make it a more enjoyable beer in my opinion.

Apr 8, 2008 On tap at Rogue Brewery. Pours a rather still red w/out very much of a head. The nose is lightly sweet w/out a ton of roundness for an ostensible red. Stronger C-word hops. Floral w/ some citrus.Fuller on the palate but not entirely thick. Flavors in line w/ the nose. More sweetness, perhaps somemalt. Enjoyable enough, for shiz, but not going to be worth XSprices.

Mar 29, 2008 Poured from the ceramic bottle a deep copper color with foamy tan head. Aroma of bready malts, brown sugar and hops. Flavor was malts, brown sugar, toffee, mild spices and bitter hops at the finish. Sweet and syrupy texture with a long aftertaste enhanced by the hops. Very unique and full flavored. I am surprised at its low ratings so far.

Mar 27, 2008 On tap at Capital Ale House - Downtown. Clear reddish copper body with a small creamy off-white head. Sweet caramel and nutty aroma, slightly sugary. Very sugary flavor, with light tea-like hints and some fruit and a lot of hops. Medium body with medium carbonation and a syrupy slightly alcoholic finish.

Mar 22, 2008 Not very good at all. Red color. Alcohol in the aroma and more hot alcohol and dry malt in the flavor. More of an Irish ale or malt liquor than an American strong. Not very good at all, especially for the price.

Mar 21, 2008 Tap at Map Room. Distinct fruity nose with a deep bitterness. Too much focus on the IBUs and not enough on developing a balanced beer. Didn’t have teh support of the malt. Decent, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.
