12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/6/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep reddish orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy apricots, fruit skin, grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity hops, apricots, and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy apricots, fruit skin, grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of apricots, fruit skin, grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, apricots, and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great; touch of lingering resins. Zero warming alcohol for 5.6%. Overall this is an excellent American red ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity hops, apricots, and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Feels like Centennial, Cascade, and Amarillo. Great balanced juicy hops/apricots; nice dark/bready malt backbone, but not overly sweet. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Single bought at Liquor Shed. Bottled January 11th.
It pours a deep amber red, a finger of foam, good amount of lacing.
The smell is of lemon citrus, grain, caramel malt that is close to butterscotch.
Hoppy, yeah, citrus with grass. Malty, yeah, caramel with grain and close to butterscotch. Diacetyl hints. Especially in the finish.
Good enough mouthfeel.
Glad I only bought the 1 bottle.

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Thinking amber might be a better style choice. Medium amber with small , spotty head. Caramelly malts on the aroma, taste adds a nice sharp bitter bite to the sweet caramel base. Taste good, bitterness is just right, not too little, not too much. Dries out towards the finish, and finishes fast.

On Tap at teh Boise BP Clear redish amber with a thin tan head. Some toasted malts a little woody. Plenty of clean resinous hop flavors. Nearly as hoppy and bitter as an IPA but with a bit more sturdy of a body. Good stuff
