ben4321 (4897) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - JUL 9, 2014
Location: 22 oz bottle from Marion Street Cheese Market, 7/9/14

Aroma: The nose is fruity and lightly hoppy, caramel malts, earth, and some herbal notes
Appearance: Pours an unclear reddish color with a thick, frothy beige head and decent lace
Flavor: Tastes much the same, light sweet, leaning hoppy, with a clean bitterness on the finish
Palate: The body is medium, it has a creamy feel, soft carbonation, and a decently dry finish
Overall Impression: I found this one to be pretty solid, but not amazing. It grows on you are you are drinking through the 22 ounces, which is nice, because it makes you think that it is something you could drink again easily.

Bomber into a pint glass. Upon pour is a beautiful red hue with a frothy white head. Aroma is pleasant with plenty of floral hop notes and a malty sweet character coming through. Taste is clean and refreshing with a good balance and good sessionability. A solid American red ale for sure. Cheers to Solemn Oath!

22 oz. bottle. Deep mahogany pour with a medium off white head. Decent lacing. Aroma is fruity with mild tropical hop and herbal notes. Mild caramel and red malts. Taste has medium bitterness, some herbal hops are front and center. Medium sweetness. Fairly balanced but hop forward. Palate is medium, lively carbonation, slick texture. Finish of medium duration and a fair amount of bitterness.

Very fruity aroma and taste. Candy flavored. Never had a beer like this but tasty. Sweet and smells like a cherry fruit roll up. Draft pour at whole foods

TheAlum (6428) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - DEC 10, 2013
Draft on tap at the taproom (Naperville, IL). Pours a well hazed amber brown hue, subtle orange glow from a dakrer copper brown middle. Some dulled orange amber glow on the edges. A frothy tannish head atop stays as a firm layer, sticks around ok and laces ok. Aromas are bigger citrusy bite, florals and melon, gumball and citrus rind, oils. Some grass, grapefruit juice, gentle bready malts. Firmer hop presence. Initial is lighter end of the fold, a touch thinner and more crushable. Some nice gentle fruit presence, citrus and melon meet some faint tropical fruit. Touches of bread, biscuit and mellow cereal grains. Decent bitterness hits, some rind elements. Middle is a touch sweeter, a bit of caramel, biscuit and toast. Some gentle earth, florals and mellow hopping. Backend is a bit dry, bready, some gentle carmelized touches some florals, earthy hops. Decent to mellow bitterness. Finish is a bit more mellow, but not flabby or sweet. The more potent inviting hop nose doesn’t necessarily offer that richer element in the beer itself, ending up as a more serviceable, but certainly not sweet or messy, Amber Ale. Touches of bread, biscuit, and earthy hops as we finish, a faint waft of soap and citrus rind. Solid. Pretty beer, wonderful fresh and vibrant nose, solid drinker overall.
