Bottle from Orlando Total Wine...again I didnt like this beer. This brewery disappoints quite often IMO. Reddish pour. Malty aroma with some hops. Flavor is better thatn their pale, but their beers just seem to lack some punch. Grainy and bready flavor, weak note of hops...boring.

Pours copper, beige head. Aroma is malty and roasted. Taste, some nice floral notes, caramel malts, with hoppy finish. Not a bad brew, but nothing special going on here.

by Dunedin on tap–pours a light tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-peat/caramel, secondary earthy hops. Taste is medium malt-peat/caramel, secondary earthy/metallic hops, yeast. Mild carbonation.

on tap-pours a white head that laces with copper/amber color. Aroma is faint malt. Taste is medium malty, secondary crisp hops. OK effervescence.

Bottle and draft at brewpub. Poured deep mahogany with a lingering tan head. Highly carbonated and very lively. Aroma of weak grain, bread and yeast. Taste is fairly weak as well. Flavors of grains, caramel malts, mild olive, and mild hops. Body overall is thin.

Draft… Lightly hazed amber ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Fruity, caramel, mashy aroma. Medium-bodied with a sticky mouthfeel and reserved carbonation. Big caramel flavor. Sweet and malty, but not cloyingly so, with a light note of black tea. Reminiscent of the original recipe for West Virginia Appalachian Ale (1992, first brew-pub beer I ever tasted) and Lake Tahoe Red. Toasted, caramel finish. Extremely drinkable.

On tap at Mellow Mushroom (Orlando, FL). Pours a dark red-brown with a one finger tan head. Aroma is bread, grain, some spice and yeast. Flavor is somewhat bland with notes of hops, malty sweetness and wet hay. Light body with a slightly bitter finish.

On tap at Mellow Mushroom served as Dropkick Murphy’s Erin Red ( e-mailed the brewer and it is in fact the same recipe as the Red Head Red). Poured light crimson w/ a fluffy off-white head..mostly lasting...soapy lacing. The aroma was toasted malts, florals, caramel. The flavor was bitter hops, caramel, and dough. Very smooth beer, moderate carbonation, and a lasting, dry, and bitter finish. Very tasty...

Brandon, Fl. - Kingdom Liquors, 22 oz bomber. Dark copper pour, nice off-white head. Interesting and enjoyable aroma - hints of spices and mint. Solid flavor with hints of chocolate, nectarines, some Christmas spices - very complex and tasty. Lively mouthfeel - just the right amount of carbonation. One of the better ones from Dunedin - a brewer that seems to suffer from long shelf occupancy at times.

ABC liquors, st petersberg fl. poured a deep amber with a giant creamy white foam. smell was very earthy and resin hops characteristics. Taste was similar to a lightly hoped english style ipa, lots of resin followed by a malt and yeast flavor. the bread and yeast gives way to a clean finish of citrus bittering hops. the mouth feel is thin and watery the biggest set back to this beer.

Poured a slightly hazy reddish color with a medium sized beige head. The aroma was dusty with notes of paper. Sweet malt underneath. The flavor was mildly sweet with nutty and caramel notes. Dry finish with a lively carbonation.
