Mar 8, 2008 Pours a rich amber color with thin white head that fades quickly. Aroma is light fruit, with almost a subtle berry nose to it as well mixed with some floral spicy hops. Taste is up front with hops and some fruit and slight spiciness to it. Pretty decent but a little lop--sided with the lack of malt backbone.

Mar 8, 2008 Pours a light amber color with a medium frothy head and some sticky lacing. Aroma is hoppy, a little caramel, and some pineapple. Taste is about the same. Could use some of the sweetness tuned down.

Feb 27, 2008 Bottle from State Line. Pours chill hazy dark straw, and didn’t go toward the red end of the spectrum at all. The aroma was hoppy, with some vinous fruit and caramel malt notes. The flavor reminded me a lot of Roxy Rolles, with a pronounced hop bite coupled with some malt and mangoey spices. The hops always seemed to have the forefront here, and I think more malt would have balanced this one out a bit. It does get a bit hot toward the end.

Feb 25, 2008 Not exactly red for a Red, more like a deep gold with a thin head. Quite floral in aroma with caramel malt. Rather muted in flavor for such a big beer, lightly fruity with a bit of mango. Clean, balanced and smooth for the alcohol but pretty boring.

Feb 24, 2008 22 oz bottle poured an orange amber in color with minimal noticeable carbination and a thin head of tan froth. aroma has floral hops, some musty caramel malt, orange peel, and some white pepper. hops presence is a little less than i would have thought with the dry hopping. flavor is very full with plenty of malts, caramel, and hops are more on the peppery side than fruited. has a thickness that coats the tongue and finishes with bitters and hops spice. the alcohol is a little too prominent but other than that it is a nice brew. not as good as the other southern tier brews i have tried.

Feb 22, 2008 22 oz bomber from whole foods soho manhattan. pours a rich dark red with light, high head. the smell reminds me of a great sunday morning corned beef hash, though I don’t know why. very good aroma. crisp on the palate, the balance between malt, hops and alcohol is fantastic. overall, this is a great beer and worth trying at least once.
