Bottle. Poured deep red with a lasting thick white head. Floral hoppy aroma, with a touch of banana. Nice flavour, with toffee notes among the hoppiness. Lasting hop finish.

Oct 1, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, bright orange-amber color; off-white head with patchy, fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of red fruits, caramel, and juicy orange bitterness in the aroma; nicely balanced nose. Medium mouthfeel: chewy, resiny orange and earthy bitterness, toffee and caramel (light sweetness), and red fruits; nicely balanced, slightly dry and well-bittered amber ale; nicely drinkable. Medium finish: red fruits, orange peel, and touches of caramel; balanced at the far end.

does not count  Aug 26, 2008 The dark roasted barley is a nice touch to the flavor. Pours deep red and cloudy. Hints of IPA hopiness.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle, pours a very cloudy yeasty amber orange beer with a very thin head. Aroma is hoppy like a citrus IPA. Flavor is a medium body of caramel, grapefruit, pine. Very smooth and delicious, thanks TikiE, from outwest!

Aug 21, 2008 Bottled: from out west! Pours a red amber color with a small amount of visible yeast. Smells of malt with hints of caramel, and taste sweet tartish with a lasting flavor of toffee. Nice amber ale!

I always look forward to seeing this seasonal on tap. Very balanced. Great aroma and hop profile. A little unfocused on the mid-palate. Leaves you wanting a little more body. All in all and great red ale!
