Smooth, a bit creamy. Balanced with a clean malt flavor and medium hoppiness. The herbal hop flavor is slight. Dark copper-red color, small head and good lacing. Aroma is sharp and slightly bready. Overall good, and quaffable.

Not a shabby red ale. I’m not usually a big fan of this style, but this one is decent. Quite dark, nice malt flavor turns quickly to hops, quite dry finish. Worth a try. (P.S. get the Breckenridge sampler pack)

RSRIZZO (1679) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - SEP 21, 2007
Had this beer on 8/20/2001. Aroma is faint but a sweet malt scent can be found. Color is a rich hazy amber with good carbonation and a nice tight head. Taste is malty and smooth. Starting with a rich medium body it goes down smooth with a creamy feel. The finish is nice with a smooth malt flavor and a gentle hint of hops. Its very smooth for an Amber
