1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey-copper body with a thin, thin ring of bubbles.
Smell: Aroma of a drizzle of caramel over a basket full of spoiled, sun-baked fruits.
Taste: Suspiciously sour fruit flavors with only a meager amount of caramel within. Finishes tart, watery, and a bit acetic. Unless they were aiming for a bargain basement Flanders Red, then this beer is miles off course.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Dear me. It seems that, more often than not, these Atwater beers just don’t survive their trip into the bottles.

1.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Pours a mostly still pale bronze orange. Aroma of lightly sweet, fruity pale malt and a hint of tartness. Body starts very thin and over-attenuated with some grainy oxidized tartness toward a watery finish. Very blah and possibly infected.

2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Amber color with a wieird roasty, smoke aroma. Flavor is malty, but a bit off. I can’t decide what was up with this beer, but it just didn’t do much for me.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Reminds me of a cider in some respects. Aroma is more of a sour cider than the maltiness I’d hope for from a beer. Aftertaste is pretty bland.

Bottle. Pours a heavy head, highly carbonated, dirty amber body. Aroma is sour, malty, light hops. Flavor is almost fruity, soapy hops, dry mouthfeel. Really boring and off-taste beer.
