Aug 13, 2006 This is more a reflection of my personal tastes than the quality of the beer. I’m not a fan of reds and that’s about it.

Aug 12, 2006 Bottle from Ken (kenb) Thanks! Pours out a dark red color without much of a head. Smell is citrus, grass, and chocolate? Rich and flavorful taste that make this somewhat of a hopped up amber ale. A different, very unique IPA that seems to be what Twin Sisters IPA should have been. This one comes out as a very strong, hoppy PNW beer without really trying hard. A good solid effort, not sure if this is a seasonal, or a year round beer, but its pretty damn good.

Jul 31, 2006 12 oz bottle from local grocer. Small head, fair amount of lace, dark reddish brown color. Mild hoppy smell. Very nice full bodied taste, well hopped but not over the top. Very balanced. Good fresh hop aftertaste. I will put this up there with the Stone India Pale Ale, Very nice effort, i hope they keep producing this, best Widmer Bros beer yet!

Jul 20, 2006 Heyyy, alright. Glorious red/amber in color with a fast moving head. Yeasty aroma with cascade hop smell. Slightly watery texture. Juicy fruit hoppiness, quite succulent, lots of sweetness, but not overwhelming. Doesn’t seem to be too heavy on the crystal malts. Citric hops linger on the swallow with some residue of caramel malts. Great brew!

Jul 14, 2006 Well, it looked just like the picture. Very red hued, very fluffy white head. Pours clean, fresh, sweet aroma. Flavors are tart, like oranges, very sweet. Finish is smooth, lingers well. Doesn’t sour in the aftertaste, stays candy-like.

Jul 14, 2006 Pours a clear copper bronze with a thin, lightly-lacing off-white head. Fresh, piney citrusy hop aroma has a subtle caramel malty background. Starts with some light toasty sweet caramel toffee, well-balanced with some bittering, resiny piney hops. A fresh very drinkable IPA, but could use a little more body.

Jul 4, 2006 Bottle and tap. Pours copper with a decent head. Nice aromas of malts and chocolate as well as strawberries. Flavors are complex, with hints of caramel, hops and fruit. Really like this beer.

Jul 2, 2006 Wow!!What a taste!Had a good head.Color red-amber.Aroma was hoppy.tatsed unusual biting,candy apple without the sugar.Good commercial description.I didn’t taste the chocolate,though.It has a bitter aftertaste,but it also had a citrus or fruity.I will buy again,but the taste does get to be a bit much after a couple of bottles.Best to limit to 2 bottles per drinking session.Will buy again!!
