Apr 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours a golden amber with a nice white head with good glass retention. The aroma is sweet and doughy with a hint of cotton candy. Taste is a little sour but not overwhelmingly so as some reds can be. It was also sweet and sugary like rock candy. Bubbly and full bodied.

Apr 14, 2008 Thanks to hoplover406 for this. Shared with Ian. Beautiful reddish brown pour with a thick tan head. Big hop citrus aroma, very earthy. Taste is big malt backbone and balanced nicely by the hops. Creamy smooth finish with just a hint of hop bitterness.

Apr 12, 2008 Dec. 2007 - Clear copper color with very little head but a little lacing. Weak aroma of caramel and floral hops. Malt profile was caramel, bread and a lot of bittering hops, english style and floral bitterness. Not really thick or interesting. Kind of tasted like some imperial bitter or something.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks!
Pours a golden amber color with a medium lived offwhite head. Smell is medium red ale like maltiness, with caramel. Taste is balanced dark caramel and fairly hoppy and lasting moderate bitterness. Mild alcohol flavor, but not bad for 9.5%. Pretty good and drinkable.

Apr 5, 2008 Bottle at Chaucer’s Pub in London, Ontario- Deep, hazy amber with a fluffly, slightly off white froth. Caramel malt with woody, citrusy hops in the nose. Spicy and toasty. This is a big beer in terms of caramel and sweetness, brown sugar, quite spicy from the halletrau, but also citric like an IPA. Fruity, woody, quite earthy and full leading into a spicy, sweet yet bitter finish. An interesting take this one is. Glad I tried it.

Apr 3, 2008 Bottle pours an orange red amber color with a big off white head that laces very well. The aroma is hops and some malt below it. The flavor is of fresh hops, some bready malt, and some more amber characteristics when compared to the Southern Tier Hoppe that I just rated. This one is much more caramel and a touch roasted with a lingering bitterness. Dry, much more dry than the Hoppe! The palate is more rich than average. Overall, this one stands up well.
