Keg @ Dragonmead. Deep amber pour with a small head. Pine cone, plenty of C-hop character. Some toffee. Drinks fairly boosty. Oily. Blunt piney hoppiness. Chewy. Meh.

Pour on tap at the brewery, dark reddish pour with white head, aroma brought notes of caramel, toffee, some earth, touch of spice, yeast, some grassy and piney hops come through. Taste is a mix of caramel, toffee, red fruit into some pine, grass, touch of orange marmalade, finishing slightly dry, bitter, with some spice.

Draft - Rich caramel malts and some pine hops. Cloudy copper with a decent white head. Sweet caramel, light bitter hops and a dry bitter finish.

Had on-tap at Dragonmead. Appearance: A fairly deep red color. Clear. No head on it. No lacing, really. I like the color though. Smell: Hops. Looking for this beer on this site, I’m surprised that this is said to be a strong ale, but sure, why not. Smells like a red IPA to me. Plenty of piney and grapefruity freshness in Juggernaut. Some sort of malt character, but this is no doubt a hoppy beer. Taste/feel: The biggest disappointment I found with Juggernaut was without a doubt the feel. Almost no carbonation, and a little on the thin side. Then again, this is said to be a strong ale. I’ve only had one strong ale (Stone’s Arrogant Bastard) and the feel was similar now that I think about it, so that could just be my ignorance. Hoppy, bitter, and quite red IPA-esque. Not a great beer in my opinion, but it’s still a very nice and tasty option.

Good effort, on tap at the brewpub. A good bitterness, light red colour wth a lace sheet. Good drinking. Mild hop aroma, hint of smoke.

Juggernaut... ah. Definitely the superior red at Dragonmead. Slight bready taste. Good bitter malt presence. Dry and unsweet. Deep amber color. A taste that hides the ABV well.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a clear reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, fruit and malt. Medium to full body with a citrusy hops character and notes of caramel malt and herbs. The finish is malty up front with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft. Dark red color, a little cloudy, thin head. Aroma was moderate - some hops, but not strong. Overall smooth and warming, full body. Good but not as much as I was expecting.

On tap at the GTMW 2011. Reddish amber with a large tan crown. Aroma seems more malty than hoppy with caramel, citrus and mild floral hops. Taste is balanced and drinkable with caramel, citrus and fruit and it didn’t finish all that bitter.

Juggernaught double red. Reddish orange with small head. Indisticnt hops. Earthy and grassy. Some sweet malts. Flavor is nice. Refreshing. Slight ruby red notes with perfect bitterness and a touch of sugar in the finish. 637313
