Beer Guy99 (250), Maineville, Ohio, USA Feb 11, 2003 An excellent red ale. I enjoy a pint of this everytime I visit the Barrel House in Cincinnati. Rick DeBar, the brewer, does a find job. Rich malt flavors and plenty of hops. shrubber85 (2591), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA May 31, 2007 Bottle Butterscotch malt aroma with light hint of hops. Cloudy reddish amber with a small head. Tart cherry/Granny Smith apple initially blended with a light butterscotch flavor - minimal sweetness. Very different beer but quite good - nice blending of tart and diacetyl flavors. tronraner (1434), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Oct 15, 2005 (Knoxville Brewers’ Jam). Pours golden red with off-white, retentive head. The aroma is crisp, fresh, and malty. Toasted barley, bread, sweetness, and earthiness lead up to a slightly carbonic finish. As far as reds go, this is among the better ones I’ve had. garrison (433), Cin. city, Ohio, USA Aug 15, 2003 A good, but not great, red beer. I'm always surprised by the complexity of the taste every time I drink this stuff! punk_lawyer (100), USA Feb 15, 2004 Above average for its category. This has great color, aroma and head. If it had just a touch more carbonation the flavor would have more spirit. Nice overall though.
