hellomynameis (743), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Oct 25, 2007 brown with a smallish off white head, aroma is of some malt but mostly hops. Flavour is of a chocolatey IPA, not a whole lot going on here, but it is quite good. BDR (1862), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Oct 24, 2007 brown color with faint white head. Watery aroma with plenty of hop character bit not a lot of malt to it. Hippy body with a sweet tinge to it and a bitter finish. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 11/28/2005

detroiter (957), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA Feb 12, 2007 Pours a clear deep reddish-brown or auburn color, with a thick mass of tan foam, at least 3" high. Solid lacing through and through. Mild hops in the aroma - much subtler than the flavor would suggest.
Let’s start with the malt - caramel, toffee, and a bit of dry grains. Then a prominently bitter taste kicks in, with lots of citrus and spicy hops. Ample body and carbonation. Excellent.
The beer finishes with the same bittering and spicy hops. There’s just a hint of a licorice flavor in the maltiness that I pick up in the aftertaste.
