UPDATED: MAY 20, 2012 Pours a copper color with a red tinge. Aroma of hops and mildly fruity smells. Taste is creamy for a red and leaves a slight lasting film after the swalow. A slight tinge of sweet caramel in the aftertaste. Overall a drinkable beer that I would order again.

On tap at the Huntington Beach brewpub. It pours light amber orange with a khaki head. The aroma is lightly fruity and toasty with some bready malt. The flavor is caramel and bread. Decent body and mouthfeel. Kind of on the sweet side with a touch of cardboard.

Not very red, but this has a very bold and unique flavor profile. Malts come through well and blend nicely.

Sampler at the Arlington, TX location. Comes red amber with an average biege head. Sweet aroma of malt and caramel. Tastes is malt, caramel, fruit, and some hops. On the sweet side for sure. Decent enough.

Had this at the BJs in El Paso. Malty aroma. Flavor starts sweet, then rounds on with some mellow hop bitterness. Nice.

draft... deep dark mahogany, nice tope head... this is one of their almost drinkable beers, most reds are too malty and generic but this is pretty balanced except for some tea on the finish
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Actually in La Mesa, but Chandler seemed to have the most beer ratings, so I went with that.
Poured from a draft into a pint glass at BJ’s Restaurant in La Mesa, Calif. Color was reddish copper, almost mahogany. Probably about an inch of head. Reddish brown lacing that stayed on the top throughout. Also lots of film that lasted on the sides.
A bit disappointed with the smell. It took awhile to find anything, and once I did it was a pretty average copper malt.
Tasted of toffee and fruity malts. The toffee and caramel dominated the front, while the fruit (cherry/plum) came in late.
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Butter finish.
I liked this beer, probably more than the Piranha Pale Ale. Smooth and balance led the way.
