In this epic battle, the Blood of the Unicorn has been shed by the sword of the deadly assassin of the east. One sip of this aggressively hopped red ale clearly reveals what drives these, the greatest of, hop heads of lore. Is this the end of the mythical horned horse? Or will he rise like the phoenix to fight another day?

Bottle: Poured a deep red/brown color ale with a large light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus and earthy hops is dominant with medium sweet caramelized malt notes. Taste is also dominated by earthy and citrus hops notes with some semi-sweet caramelized malt notes. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Nicely done with good hops punch and a solid malt bill.

Bottle. Pours dark red with off white head. Nose/taste of grapefruit rind, toasted malt, caramel malt, toffee and resin hops. Finishes dry bread and wood and slightly bitter. Medium body. I’m glad Ninja won. I was rooting for Ninja.

Bottle. Pours a clear deep amber with a grayish brown head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma is quite dank with pine, weed and resin with a relatively strong backing earthy sweet grain note. Flavor is very dank as well with a musty grass note, resin and some pine backed by sweet earthy grains.
