Huge head, lacing throughout. Malt, oak, earthy hops. Great beer. I can’t judge this one on style but it tastes amazing.

j12601 (5722) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - MAY 29, 2012
Bottle from a trade that I drank with Max and Andy prior to our Montreal and VT trip. Pours a lightly hazed amber red with a medium to large white beige head. Some slight age on it, but that’s my fault. Malt, toast. I don’t really get the oak or much else. Medium bodied, toast, malt. Easy drinking but really not a lot going on.

Bottle at Sour & Bitter. Pours amber with a medium off white head. The aroma is fruit, spices, caramel and malt. The flavour is wood, hops, caramel and some fruit. Creamy texture.

ChazMania (640) - Pasadena, California, USA - MAY 20, 2012
Loved this beer- had it on tap at Bruery Provisions and then brought a bottle home as well. One of the better red/ambers I’ve had. Big nose with blend of citrus and caramels; gorgeously dark red and perfect carbonation. Taste is huge and like a red IPA. Reminds me of GF HopHead Red but not as bitter.

DSG (3994) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - MAY 16, 2012
[5/10/12] Bottle sample at Sour & Bitter. Hazy reddish amber. Hoppy citric and floral nose with some malty notes. Flavor has a bit of maltiness, very light sweetness and a bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied. Quite nice.
