Bottle. Pours a clear, clean red wit a great, foamy, well-built head. The aroma has ample but not obnoxious grapefruity hops with hints of biscuits and lemons. This is a mellow and light beer, but flavorful and balanced. There is just enough citrusy hops, biscuity malts, and bread. This is one supreme session beer. At only 4.4% abv, this has a really appealing and well balanced flavor. Think Arrogant Bastard Lite. This is pretty much it.

Bottle from case. A dark amber-wood pour, clear with small foam head. Aroma of light citrus hops and some roasted grain. Great blend of hops and malt grain roast on the palate, some pepper or clove and a hop/yeast zing that spices it up. Great drinker.

Bottle. Moderate note of roasted for the malt, moderate to heavy pine for the hops, moderate leather, with faint hints of brown sugar and vanilla. Head is average size, frothy, slightly off-white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear dark copper. Flavor starts and finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a lively carbonation. A pretty good amber Ale, but a little bit of sweetness would have balanced this to perfection.

bottle from 3 sons. Really a nice job for low alcohol content, a little funky with some musty clothes and rag mop almost offensive but not quite

Beautiful garnet pour with a lasting tan head. Really hoppy, spruce aroma. Flavor has a lot more hop bitterness, with a bit of burnt/roasty notes. A bit thin bodied but it is pretty low abv. Pretty hoppy for an amber.

Strong IPA smell, but the flavor is lacking in depth, breadth, and thickness. I was sorely disappointed because I love amber ales for their chewy malty, caramelly flavor- this had none of that. Just drink an IPA and be done with it. Bottle at Abraxas Lounge Miami Beach.

Aroma is surprisingly hoppy for 4.4% - citrus hops. Pours a nice clear red almost mahagony color. Taste is grapefruit hops and caramel malt and toffee. Decent body with moderate carbonation. This is an easy-drinker that is surprisingly flavorful and enjoyable - could drink this all day.

Tap at rattle and Hum. Poured a dark copper. with a thin white head. Nose is hoppy and malty, with a flavor that follows similarly. This is fairly rich and robust in flavor, with a medium mouthful. Smooth and drinkable
