Pours reddish brownish from draft at waterfront Manhattan. Caramel malts, hops. Pretty decent.

Draft. Cloudy deep amber color, very thick cream colored head. Aroma of toasted caramel. Taste is fruity burnt caramel, extremely bitter and resiny. Too bitter for me.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a deep red yet clear body, two finger white foamy head that lasts for about a minute before dieing, minimal lacing.
The smell had some dry Simcoe hops coming through in a toasty piney way, slight citrus noted.
The taste had a dry sweetness, malts come through as the beer warms.
On the palate, it sat about a medium, slightly sessionable as the ABV is hidden well, piney aftertaste, sticky finish. Carbonation is only slightly felt.
Overall, this was great for an Imperial Red Ale, well worthy of coming back to.

Drought. Reddish amber with creamy beige head, hops aroma, slightly bitter hoppy taste, medium carbonation, long finish. Nothing special.

A nice fruity bitterness with a warm sweetness. Reddish brown in color with a light brown head.

Location: 22 oz bottle from State Line, 1/29/13
Aroma: The nose is hoppy and resiny, with caramel, toast, some earth, and some orange/grapefruit
Appearance: Pours an unclear dark reddish color with a beige head and some sticky lacework
Flavor: The taste is sweet and malty, with plenty of lasting hop bitterness on the finish
Palate: The body is medium-plus, it is sticky and chewy, a little astringent, with a dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a pretty solid one. The flavor doesn't quite live up to the really nice promise of the nose, but it is still a good beer. This is the most interesting thing I've tried from Peak Organic.

Bottle shared by John. Pours reddish amber with off white head. Nose of nectarine, pine/resin, caramel malt and sea salt. Taste is mostly caramel and resin/pine. Finishes slightly abrasive resin. Medium body.

22oz bomber split with Anndiesel. Unfiltered burgundy-red-orange, glowing. Foamy off-white/beige head. Interesting balance of an aroma, from cherry wood amber malt tones to a menthol citrus hop edge. A pretty decent and enjoyable beer, but the choice of hops maybe just doesn’t work here...or something. Cooling and tropical essence of the Simcoe hop interacts awkwardly with the big caramel and amber malt tones. You could call this an English Barleywine maybe. Interesting and unique, but not that well executed.

A reddish copper ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, a smooth caramel malt with pungent floral hops, light sulfur notes, not bad. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt with piney hops, grass and clovers, nice and smooth. Tasted at Raquette River Beer and Wine Fest, July 13 2012.
