2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is acidic and dominated by caramel - and so is the flavor. It lacks the berry notes I expect from an Irish Red.

From tap at Pizza Port in Solana Beach. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small white head. Light roasted and caramelish malt aroma. Sweet caramelish and light toasted malt flavoured. Good light bitterness to this. Ends with a light creamy impression and a lasting light dry hoppy and light malty mix.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap. Clear amber golden with an off-white head leaving laces. Sweet caramel aroma. Medium body, sweet caramel notes, but again distinct moldy accents. No bitterness. I wonder if Pizza Port Solana has a problem with keeping their tap lines clean - this was the third mildewy beer in the same day. 080709

2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from South Bay Drug. Rich red color with a decent off-white head. Aroma is floral hop and? Rather thin body with mild carbonation. Flavor is almost flavored water - but it is really better than that. It’s just all rather mild. Mild caramel, mild hop. It goes down readily. It finishes clean and balanced. It just lacks character. Good drink, but not a great drink. The color is great though.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Rating #4100... Bottle... Mostly clear Longhorn orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Perfumey, fruity nose tenders wafts of honey, biscuit and toffee. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. Malty-sweet flavor, but not cloying... caramel and sweet, golden raisins. Caramelly finish. Thanks go out to WeeHeavySD!

22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear brownish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel and fruits. Tastes of pretty much the same. Thinner body.
