Nov 25, 2007 Bottle, not really red but clear light copper with a nice white head. Nice, floral noble hop nose along with touches of grain and light toffee. The flavor starts with a blast of grassy herbal hop character with a nice undercurrent of bread/caramel and strong yet pleasant level of hop bitterness. Medium/full bodied yet quaffable with a smooth texture and medium carbonation. A different take on a hop bomb, I enjoyed it.

Nov 1, 2007 A slightly cloudy, golden brown pour with a creamy, white head.. This is a big one. Big mouth filling, malt flavor followed by a strong, flowery hop hit then fading to a bitter aftertaste. The hops are big but so is the malt. Sipping slowly the alcohol effect comes in slowly. A robust beer for when the day is done.

Oct 29, 2007 THOUGHTS: Saw this for a few weeks and didn’t pick it up because of the dull lable and not having liked their raspberry beer much, but after trying Pum King I neede to try as many Southern Tier beers as I could. This one seemed breat at first then bad, then back to good again. Would have been incredible without the rubber smell.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, medium to dark orange with an average-sized, white head that mostly diminished except for a ring around the edge of the glass and left good lacing. The aroma was moderate caramel malt and heavy citrus (orange) hops. But there was also a band-aid or burnt rubber smell. Overall it was nice but the rubber smells kept it from being great. The initial flavor was moderately sweet and lightly bitter, while the finish was moderate to heavy sweetness and heavy to harsh bitterness with an average to long duration. The medium body was somewhat syrupy with slightly tingly carbonation and a somewhat metallic finish.

Oct 10, 2007 Bottle. Tulip glass. Clear ruby color little head. The write up on the bottle advertises Hallertau hops but the aroma is dominated by malt. Sweet caramel malt aroma and taste with grapefruit hops. Spicy with a bitter finish. A good beer but I’m not particularly fond.
