COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This ale is made with a special roast of caramel malt, which gives it a lovely red hue and subtle caramel flavor. A large amount of hops is added late to the kettle and the fermentor, giving this beer a wonderful floral nose with hints of nectar and citrus carrying through to the palate. 23.6 IBU, 16.35 Plato, 7.65%

4 oz sample from the Blue Frog in Fairfield, CA. This was a thin-bodied beer with a malty carmel taste balanced out with a little bit of hops. One of the better beers I’ve had at the Blue Frog.

On tap at groggery. Not much love for the red either. It was malty, but misdirected as the flavors and palate were everywhere.

fordest (1954) - Santee/San Diego, California, USA - OCT 5, 2007
Tasted during the San Diego Fesival of Beer. Reddish color with smallish off-white head. Decent citrus aromas. Flavors were a little more toasted, with a nice hoppy finish. Not too bad

riversideAK (4381) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - SEP 13, 2007
Auburn red in color with a small white head. Aroma of toasty caramel malt and a little bit of Pacific Northwest Hops. Nice caramel malt flavors. Not too sweet though. A little toasty malt too. Finish is mildly hoppy. Probably more crisp than anything. A nice amber ale. Probably the best thing I have had from this brewery.

Pours a fantastic deep red color. Big malty aromas and flavors. Nice big bitter finish. Excellent.

rmussman (1331) - California, USA - MAR 16, 2007
Sampled out of a bottle from BevMo. Has a mellow aroma with slight hoppy textures. Appearance is a rich amber. Mouthfeel is nice, but flavor leads a little to be desired.

grant (842) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - JAN 30, 2007
Copper color with characteristic Blue Frog fine-toothed head. Aroma of toffee, lightly roasted coffee and light citrus hops. Flavor of intense caramel, lightly herby/grapefruity hops. Finishes substantially bitter. Quite pleased with this one.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - NOV 15, 2006
Bottle. Aroma of malt and citrus. How good is that! Reddish amber color. No noticeable head. Flavor of malt, hint of strawberry, bit of wet paper, hops are present, but the malt rules. It really drinks well.
