3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 scarletfire65 (1151) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 24, 2015
Bottle at home. Aroma is ripe strawberries, caramel, rye bread. Creamy carbonation. Flavor of toast, caramel, light smoke, white pepper, rye. The hop profile adds a definite "West Coast" flavor with pine resin and vague citrus. Dry finish with a distant berry like fruitiness. The finish is quick and clean, not much lingering bitterness. Straight forward, but remarkably well put together compared to the low score on here.

2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Frank (3541) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - DEC 13, 2014
This has a decent nose but it tastes kind of gross. Im not into it. Its a murky brown red w/ a small white head. There is a touch of caramel malt in the nose but it is mostly a pretty nice citrusy hop character that predominates. Taste is more sweet and malty--oversweet in fact. It has a slightly harsh earthy hop bitterness and passes across the palate in a sticky and sluggish way. The first wiff of this had me hopeful but by the end of the bottle, I am pretty sure I will never drink this again.

Solid Amber pour, fairly opaque, eighth inch offwhite head. Citrus hop aroma with some appropriate earthy graininess, grassy too. Carbonation fairly high, average viscosity, crisp finish. Taste of grassy and metallic hops mixed with carmel malt.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 hotstuff (4424) - Indiana, USA - OCT 1, 2014
Backlog rating on 9-13-2012 (Draft) This beer forms a large frothy off-white head that mostly diminishes, transparent amber body, fizzy, fast rising carbonation observed, and spotty amounts of lacing. The aroma is caramel malt and hops. The flavor is semi-sweet, caramel malt, hops, and metallic. This beer is light bodied. This beer has a nice appearance and that is the best aspect of this beer in my opinion.
