2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 BillKismet (3562) - Seattle, Washington, USA - FEB 2, 2008
Perhaps this was a different beer--was listed as an Imperial Red (with no mention of Fresh Hop). Red-orange amber with virutally no head. Little, if any aroma. Candi sugar, residual sweetness in the flavor, with imperceptible hopping.

On tap. One inch head. God hop aroma. Listed as an imperial red, it tasted more like a nice, hoppy ipa. Overall, it was a good beer worth having again

Dark amber color with a frothy head. Fresh hop bud nose is fruity, sprucey. Smooth mouthfeel. Great, well balanced taste of caramel and bready malts meshed with a strong but not over powering hop taste to finish. Very easy drinking, i enjoyed this brew and had more than one. Draft at Uber 12/06/2007.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 riversideAK (5749) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - DEC 3, 2007
On tap at Brouwers. Copper color with a thin head. Aroma has some buttery notes w musty hop aroma. The strong fresh hop aroma is reminiscent of cat pee or something like this, but in a good way. Up front hoppiness. Very herbal and funky, like drinking good marijuana! Nice fruity malt as the backbone. Nice balance and pretty damn drinkable. It tastes fresh.
