Bottle from SL. Pour was amber with a big off white to faint orange head and good lacing. Aroma of ruch grapefruits, citrus, pine, caramel. Flavor followed with some faint roasted malts in there, reminding me of a revent iron hill brew, the brown haired ipa. Mouthfeel was full and well carbonated. Decent brew.

Spicy aroma, fluffy head. Lots of herbal hops, caramel malts and toffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Pretty good.

bottle... bright amber, light tan head... the aroma has tons of caramel, a Killians on steroids, a little hoppy, wet dog and socks... easy to drink nothing wrong, but not something I’d come back, had with The chairman and this was better

Pours a two finger light cream head that fades slowly leaving an excellent lace. Nice clear red/amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Pine hop nose and flavor is pine hops with hints of caramel. $4.99 for a 22oz bottle from Julio’s Liquors Westborough, Ma.

Deep amber/copper pour with nice tan head and lace. Aroma is reniny hops and an odd finishing aroma I can’t place, not unpleasant. Large maltiness with a caramel tone and some prefumy notes followed by an nice resiny bitter. Medium/full bodied with smooth carbonation. Odd offering but pretty good.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark caramel color with a huge creamy orange-tan head that lingered forever and left decent lacing. The aroma was strong pine, leafy hops, resin and had touches of pineapple and sweet caramel. The flavor was sweetish toasted caramel with moderately strong pine and resin and an light molasses undertone. The beer turned dry dry towards the long piney finish. Thick body. Solid.

bottle. pours clear red under a large, frothy, tan head. nose has lots of bready and cookie malt and toast. also lots of piney hops. flavors of bitter hops with not a lot of depth. just bitter. no flavors but some astringent notes. malts could be stronger. not at all sweet. leaves a grassy finish. where are the malts is smelled?

Perhaps the best Sam Adams beer I’ve had in a long while! Big citrus aroma tailored with caramel malts. Pours a deep yet clear red. Taste is very good blend of hoppy bitter IPA with red/amber caramel malt- very reminiscent of Green Flass HopHead Red. I bought their newly released DIPA as well so now I’m really looking forward to that beer too!

Tallahassee, Fl - Liquor Loft - attractrive distinctive shaped 22 oz bomber - pre-Thanksgiving dinner beer. Pours a very dark copper with a sticky khaki colored head that sticks around a while and leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma is floral and hoppy with plenty of spruce goodness. Flavor is bold and delicious with plenty of grapefruit bitter citrus notes, some sweet caramel and chocolate notes, a hint of nectarine sweetness. Mouthfeel is thick and rich. I’m not a Sam Adams basher - but sometime feel they just mail it in on some of their seasonals and specialty beers - but this one is right on target.

Bomber poured a clear reddish amber with a lasting creamy amber head. Aromas of carmel, grapefruit, tangerine, pine and light earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, grapefruit, orange zest, pine and light earthiness with a crisp dry lingering bitter finish.
