Hazy amber pours out of the 12 oz bottle with a big spicy hops and malt aroma. Beige head sits atop, with maybe a hint of alcohol heat. Very reminiscent of Bigfoot or other hoppy american barley wines, with a crisper hoppier finish than many of those. A nice big brew.

Really cloudy Amber put with an inch or so fluffy cream colored head. Super floral sticky scent, strong lavender, fluffy pollen, big carmel malt creeps through but is not overpowering. Really soft carbonation, thinner mouthfeel, really clean effervescent finish thanks to the abv. Taste has lots of carmel malt, bitter piney hops, rye and pineapple are slight, nice florals take a back seat, big abv. Nice red ale.

Bottle. Pours a red amber. Small off white head. Big Grapefruit aroma. Flavors of sweet grapefruit, orange, and caramel. Mouth feel is thick and sweet. I have high expectations from Greenbush, but this one might have surpassed expectations. Great big DIPA. Very Very nice. Didn’t do on purpose, but actually drank while watching Game of Thrones. Only negative is that I decided to drink another DIPA, Shorts The Liberator, after this. Remnant of Dragon was such a big sweet beer that it made the Liberator taste sour. The Liberator is also a fantastic DIPA so the fact that Remant of Dragon overwhelmed it says something.

Pours golden red color semi opaque with small soapy white head. Nose is pineapple, mango, rye. Tingling carbonation, medium body, lightly dry finish. Very well balanced, tasty brew.

12-oz. Pours a hazy medium amber with a dense creamy off white head. Big malty sweet nose with lots of fruity hop notes. Dense caramel and pineapple. Creamy medium body with lively carb. Dense caramel and pineapple on the mid palate too. Long sweet finish.

tmoreau (3056) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - JAN 1, 2015
Shared 12 oz. bottle poured to snifters, with an orangey amber hue, a modest layer of off white head foam, and dots & dashes of lacing. The nose was immediately boozy, with malt & caramel, maybe some citrus & resin, but more of a fruity, English Barleywine scent. Medium bodied, with decent carbonation, the taste included a pronounced, lingering earth & rind hop impression that was further amped by the booziness in the alcohol. Strong, and by no means mellow on the palate. Definitely imperial, again, in an English Barleywine sort of way!

njager246 (659) - grand rapids, Michigan, USA - DEC 26, 2014
Aroma is lots of citrus orange and lemon. Malty citrus taste with some hints of mango, so good!

screigh (522) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - DEC 13, 2014
Pours a hazy copper color. Little to no head but some sticky lacing. Hoppy aroma with hints of caramel and fresh cut grass. A malty and somewhat dirty taste. Hints of the alcohol.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a reddish color with a small white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of sweet cereal malt, caramel, medium pine and fruity hops. Flavor is sweet with above average bitterness. Full bodied, above average carbonation. Finishes bitter and sweet.
