The beer poured a beautiful translucent red colour with a thin foamy tan coloured cap that stuck around a while. The aroma is weak with some floral hoppy tones. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and amply carbonated. The flavour is dry roasted malt, with a little bit of a hoppish bitterness in the finish. Okay, but far from outstanding.

I tried this beer on September 4, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured an orange-brown colour with a generous tan coloured head that laced very well down the glass. The aroma was pine and floral in nature indicating ample hoppiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was definitely hoppy with grapefruit and citrus tones in abundance. If it wasn't for price, I would certainly try this beer again.

The beer poured a translucent dark brown with a 1” tan coloured head. The aroma was a combination of yeast, malt, and some sour smells. The mouthfeel was thin to medium bodied, with champagne like carbonation. The flavour was yeasty, heavily spiced, with a nice malty taste. A very good beer.

The beer poured a beautiful translucent red colour with a thin off-white cap. The aroma was nutty malt with some hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, slightly creamy, and ample carbonation. The flavour was very malty with a hint of hoppish bitterness. Some nutty character certainly came through.

The beer poured a deep red colour, some translucence, with a very thin pink head. The aroma is similar to a child's cherry lollipop. The mouthfeel is light bodied and champagne like. The flavour is very similar to a sour cherry soda.
