Ruby red with a big white head. Aroma is slightly pine hops and somebody sweet malt. Flavor is piney hops with a somewhat resinous backbone. Some sweet caramel malt rounds it out. Wife: 3.65

A hoppy Amber sounds simplistic but alas most breweries IMHO misfire on this style so it must be more complex than it seems. Southbound is no exception, not a bad beer but another Amber ale hopped up that just doesn't mesh well. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

snoworsummer (3540) - baltimore, Maryland, USA - NOV 28, 2014
From a bottle shared by Joe. Pours murky copper with a fizzy white head. Tastes like roasted malt, dry grains, dry toast, musky and earthy. Light/medium body and carbonation. Smells like roasted malt, nutty, toast and dry grains.

sonnycheeba (4396) - Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - NOV 28, 2014
Shared bottle. Pours mostly clear dark amber with creamy off-white head. Aroma is bready and caramel malts, light spicy alcohol notes, fig, and some floral notes. Flavor is bready malt base with some caramel sweetness, sharp hop bitterness, and some light alcohol spice. Medium/full body and medium carbonation.

ChainGangGuy (4568) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - NOV 26, 2014
22 ounce bottle - $7.99 at Bullock’s Wine & Spirits in Marietta, Georgia.

Released __ 20/__. Looks like somebody forgot to fill out the label.

Appearance: Reddish body, chiefly clearish, with a white head that falls just shy of an inch. Good lacing.

Smell: Toasted sugars, crisped bread, grapefruit and tangerine, a moderate earthy spiciness, small hint of cotton candy, and a tiny spritz of alcohol.

Taste: Toasty breadcrusts with a sweet twinge of caramel. Citrusy American hops with a little spiciness giving a touch of spiced charred tangerines. Medium-plus bitterness. As with the nose, a little touch of cotton candy, just like at the county fair. Slightly warming, slightly drying, bittersweet finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation.

Overall: A good, old-fashioned bitter, citrusy brew of comparable strength. The hops don’t quite run away with the show with a brutal amount of bitterness, as there’s an ample maltiness. Fairly good overall.

Shirt I would have taken a picture of this but I already ripped,off the label for a pumpkin... Oh well.mi may have another soon. Aroma is hoppy. An earthy citrus note. Tree sap. Looks good! Red hazy. Nice white head. Taste is also very solid. Sappy. Hoppy. Hops hit heavy in the middle and fade well but in the end linger a bit long. A hint of bubblegum. Pallet is heavy. Very very smooth mouthfeel. Gotta dock it a point because the hops take a little too long to fade. Otherwise very nice. You know what... It’s really not bad enough. And the rest of it is so smooth. This is a really good beer. It’s not super crazy hop explosion but is still very hoppy. It’s heavy on the palate but the finish is dry so it’s still very drinkable. Lots of good flavors but still relatively simple. A great beer.

Raven_For_Beer (8) - Savannah, Georgia, USA - SEP 27, 2014 does not count
Pours a deep amber color as would be expected for a red ale. Taste is excellent with Columbus, centennial, simcoe, Chinook, Amarillo & cascade hops are balanced perfectly

aracauna (3296) - Georgia, USA - AUG 30, 2014
Dark amber with slight haze. Piney hops in the aroma, which are met by caramel malt. Hides size well.
