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.

Jun 26, 2006 Updated: Oct 13, 200612 oz bottle dated 3/21/06. Pours a deep reddish brown with a large fluffy light tan head that is long lasting and coats the glass with lacing.
The aroma is caramel malts and grassy piney hops.
The flavor is slightly sweet bready caramel malts initially followed by a good deal of piney hop bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste, but is balanced by a little residual sweetness. There’s a little melon fruitiness as well. The mouthfeel is medium to full with velvety carbonation.
Overall, a pleasant surprise. It’s a drinkable, nicely hopped red (makes for a good IPA).

Jun 11, 2006 12oz bottle via trade with cbkschubert - Thanks Craig! - Pours deep red with a creamy beige head that stays very well and laces the sides of the glass. Aromas of grapefruit hops over caramel malts. Flavor is quite malty sweet to begin with. Lots of caramel, a little rye flavor and some roasted malts but finish is mostly grapefruit and floral hops. Somewhat bitter on the finish but pretty creamy on the palate. Medium body. Pretty nice beer.
