2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Had on tap at Callhan's on March 5, 2003
The beer is your standard red with a reddish-brown color and very slight aroma. Head is very small and taste is a bit sweet for a red for my liking. My brother's favorite Callahan's beer, but for me, I'll pass.

A: A light amber colored pour with a nice fluffy off-white head to it.
S: The aroma is primarily of toasted bread and sweet caramel, but there is a distinct off-note that I’ve noticed in several other red ales.
T: This one opens up with a caramel sweetness along with toasted bread and biscuity malts. There is a touch of floral hops and a mild bitterness.
M: Thin-medium in body with a tingly carbonation.
D: This was much maltier than I prefer in a red/amber ale, but still passable.

Draft. Nothing too exciting. Slight aromas of malt, flavor was mostly watered down. Bottom of the list for this brewer so far.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear reddish amber with a medium beige head. Aroma had roasted malt, caramel and spicy hops. Flavour was fairly spicy with roasted malt, caramel and hops that made it slightly dry and bitter.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cloudy red brown, no aroma. No head. Mild malt taste, very faint hops
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours brown-red in color with off-white head. Lacking in aroma, flavor, palate, pretty much everything. Not sure I would claim it as my signature brew.
