3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 islay (1624) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - MAY 25, 2015
12 oz. bottle, consumed on 5-18-15. Tons of long-lasting, taupe head; way too much head. Produces extensive lacing. Pours a clear amber. Highly effervescent. Dry aroma features toffee and chlorine scents. Caramel and spice flavors. Tastes like a baked good with good Christmas-like spices. Yeasty and toast-like in aroma and flavor. Soft in the palate. Smells good and tastes good but pulled down by overcarbonation, unfortunately.

On tap. Pours a clear amber with an orange hue and a tan head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma combines sweet grain with a bit of citrus and just a hint of light pine. Flavor has lots of sweet bread and grain notes up front but adds the bitterness of light pine and citrus in the finish.

Strong, flavorful amber ale with lots of great hops (apricot, pine, honey) and malt (coffee, caramel, roasted nuts). Medium weight and finish.

8/20/14 on tap in shaker glass at Pizza Luce Uptown. Aroma is soft roasted malt and sweet citrus. As glass warms aroma becomes more pronounced and becomes hoppy 1/2 way through. Color is gorgeous caramel bronze. There is a lot flavor-wize happening here. Both roasted malt and hops evident. Brewery states this beer will appeal to hop heads and malt heads. I agree. Hops become more pronounced as the glass warms. This is a full flavored beer. It is a good, not great, beer but I would order another.

Im not much of a red ale fellow, but this was a pleasant surprise, with assertive dark cherry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Defied the genre and my expectations, as it had stout-like traits. Will definitely buy some more.

Sampled at Heritage Liquors in Maplewood, MN. Pours a semi-clear reddish amber colored brew with an average sized off-white head that slowly dissipates and leaves behind some spotty lacing. Aroma of multi-grassy and citrus hops, a hint of caramel and a touch of earthy herbs. Taste is about the same as flavor but has a touch of dry rye grain bill. Finish is semi-dry, earthy hop aftertaste with some pine and biscuit aftertaste.

Strong hop taste. (About all I can taste.) Nice color, but thats it. No aroma to speak of.
