This ale boasts a deep reddish hue with a pleasing, crisp floral finish. The subtle hint of spice and pleasing aroma creates a smooth and refreshing drinking experience. Legend has it that this brew purges the deepest, darkest sins from the soul.

"Wow, one of the better ambers I've had. Finally, an amber with a bit of attitude in the hops department. Pours deep and murky red brown with tons of suspension. Aroma is flat, and while the head wasn't huge, what is there provides loads and loads of lacing. Mouthfeel has a nice hops bite rather than a typical watered down feel. Flavor is hoppy with a bit of dark fruit with a touch of sugar finish. "

"Tried after enjoying the deathly pale ale. Not as impressed. Craftsmanship is good, but its very weak in flavor. Im not a big fan of amber ales so perhaps that influenced me. Still not bad, but could be better."

"Poured a nige hazy orange color with nice head and laced well. Aroma was of resinous hops. Flavor was of caramel malts and piney hops. Not sure if reaper is known for over hopping beers but this one was borderline over hopped. Solid beer."

"Well, this one poured a nice orange to slight ruby color with a generous initial had. Lacing was good. The aroma was of resinous hops, somewhat pine like. Flavor was a balance of some caramel malts and definite hopping, somewhat like a DIPA. Mouthfeel was moderate. A nice beer."

[5] Review by beerguy101 from Newark, CA, USA who has tried this beer (6/18/2005 2:29:05 PM)
"Re-rateReddish amber color. Large white foamy head. Aroma is malty and spicy, touch earthy. A medium bodied amber. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. Much better than the first sample. I heard that they reformulated the recipe, and it shows. This is a nice very drinkable amber. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reddish amber color. Large head. Aroma is malty and spicy with a touch of spiciness. A medium bodied red ale. Malts are nutty and very sweet. Hops are citrusy and spicy. Kind of thin, and there is a spicy and medicinal taste that is kind of strange. It detracts from the overall taste of the beer; and it gets worse as it warms. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter with a medicinal taste. Cant recommend, drain pour. 2.3"
