COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This American-Style red ale is craft-brewed with a blend of eight distinctive malts to yield a beer that’s rich in both body and color. A delicate blend of Chinook, Centennial and Cascade hops is used to balance the subtle malty sweetness. Our specialty brewer’s yeast contributes to the fruitiness of the ale and its rich and frothy head.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - JAN 19, 2009
Draft at the brewpub. Red tinged amber color with a decent beige head. Roasted caramel aroma. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is a mix of citrus and dark red roasted caramel/malt. Finish is dry and decently bitter. Agree with YogiBeera.

Tap at the brewpub. The body was deep amber with a light khaki colored head. The aroma was sweet caramel with some apples. the taste was oranges with some bitterness. Bread crust in the finish.

Caramel and tea nose with a touch of biscuit and nuts. Good lacing with a soft mouthfeel. More tea and caramel on th epalate with a semi clean finish.

pivo (2540) - GERMANY - MAR 17, 2007
Smells slightly of tree bark. Dark chesnut color, low tight head. Toasted malt, almost smokey at times. Dry tight woody end. Off balance, but holds together for the most part. Good enough to wash down a pizza, but not so interesting otherwise.

YogiBeera (2436) - Hamburg, GERMANY - SEP 9, 2006
At the brewpub. IMO their best beer. Roasted malt taste. Red color, small head. Long lasting - well bodied. Decent!

Lots of malt and alcohol are apparent in this brew. Full bodied, strong. I don’t detect much of the hops that are noted in the description though.
