sloth (2240) - Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA - APR 4, 2011
Large tan head, very good retention and a nice lace, sticky, lasting. Hazy amber red color. Nose is lightly malty, lightly sour malts, metallic. Body is medium with a soft carbonation. Thin malts, no hopping to really speak of, grainy, dry, light fruitiness, cidery. Meh, got me. 16 oz. can procured @statelineliquors.

maeib (7542) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - NOV 4, 2010
Can . A definite red coloured beer with a whitish head. Caramelly malts and reasonable hops in the aroma but the mouth is full of shampoo soap and sourness. Really struggled with the soapiness here.

Ibrew2or3 (5777) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - APR 12, 2011
Can pours ruby bright amber with off white head. The aroma emits grainy malts, burnt charred ashy wort, plastic and gravel. The taste has lots of earthy spices as well as some fruity esters and a thin layer of odd gravel like earthiness.

beersearcher (1956) - Glendale, California, USA - SEP 4, 2010
Wasn’t quite what I expected. Not a hoppy red and not a particularly malty version either. Fairly light and fizzy with some slight acidic notes to it. Might require another review later from another batch. Did not feel this one.

fluffy (800) - St Petersburg, Florida, USA - SEP 7, 2011
aroma is somewhat nutty but also grassy. flavor is a typical amber, mildly caramel-y, a little breadlike. a rather bright hoppy finish. not my style, but pretty good for what it is.

KyotoLefty (4727) - Kyoto, JAPAN - APR 1, 2013
Bottled. Sugary, cherry nose, grass and herbs. Muddy color. Dry, mineral flavor, dust, fruit, thin. Yuck.

AndySnow (1199) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - APR 2, 2013
Bottle at RBJG 2 Grand Tasting. Cloudy brown colour with a small head that leaves some lacing. Smell of old socks. Flavour of plum, raisin.

ndon (857) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 11, 2011
Can at home from Cask P&K. Poured a dark orange/hazy ruby, with a medium beige head. Found this to be quite off putting. seemed infected, was sickly sweet. Behind that it seemed a weak beer.

Butters (3321) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - JAN 16, 2010
Bottle from Maniac’s Richmond Tenth Gathering. I think I can see what they were trying for here, but unfortunately, I’m picking up a LOT of canned vegetables. Flavor is almost burnt. No one else seemed offended by this, so maybe my palate was just off. Still drinkable though.
