Draft. Rich amber beer with a cream colored head. Malt and light grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with malt backing. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and pine linger with backing malt. Hoppier than I expected.

Clear light copper red with a fizzy white head. Malty aroma. Nice body to the beer and a well balanced sweet malt and citrus hops with a round caramel finish.

Sample at the brewpub on 8/7/10. Pours clear copper with a thin off-white head. Nose is grainy malt with a bit of hop. Flavor starts fruit and malty, then has a touch of hops in the finish.

Pours gold with a tint of red. The aroma is malty with notes of fruitbasket and grains. It has a mildly hoppy, soapy finish. Not bad.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours dark orange to amber with a small white head. Aroma is mild hops fruity. Bitter, crisp fruity and light malty flavoured. Medium dry and smooth fruity finish.

Malty beer with some alcohol coming through. Not much sweetness or bitterness. Lacks balance.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a slightly reddish amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy aroma with some hints of caramel. Sweetish malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a slightly sweetish malty caramel finish with some hoppy hints.

On tap at brewpub. Color was a fairly dark orange or amber with a white head. Aroma was the quintessential red malt aroma, caramel and bread. Flavor was very malty and easy to drink. A good amount of earthy bitterness in the finish. solid.

Reddish amber color, sweet, malty, caramel, little citrus, nice hoppy finish.

Tap: Clear copper/red color with not much head. It has kind of a funky hop aroma as well as taste. The aftertaste is tinny and the whole flavor and aftertaste hang out for a while in the back of you throat. I liked that part.
