Jul 20, 2008 Draught at Buffalo Brewing Co. Pours hazy amber with a small, fizzy, white head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cereal, meal), light hops (flowers, grass), average yeast (sweat) with notes of pear and butter. Light bodied, gritty texture, average carbonation, and an astringent finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

May 16, 2008 My first visit to Buffalo brewing and I ended up downing two frosty tumblers of this (and by frosty I mean my glass actuall must have come out of the cooler) no worries though, it wasn’t frozen enough to adversly effect this ruby medium bodied delightfully hoppy red. pretty darn good.

May 5, 2008 14oz draft at the brewery in a tumbler. BR pours deep copper, not quite ruby. The head is thin. The beer has a pretty high hop bill yet doesn’t mask the malt. It is pretty bland overall.

Apr 18, 2008 This was my least favorite from the brewpub. Pours copper with an off-white head. The aroma is malty and toasty with some sweetness. It has a medium body that is smooth, but offset by prickly carbonation. The flavor starts with semi-sweet malt with spicy hop presence with hints of creamy / butter aspects especially as it warms. Not sure if it is diacetyl, but it may be. The finish lingers in a way that isn’t pleasant at all to me. For being my least favorite of the six I tried, this wasn’t that bad.
