3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks to Envane for sending this my way!!
Beautiful amber color with a thick off white head.
Well balanced aroma of malt and hops is repeated again in the flavor profile. Very smooth creamy mouthfeel delivers a beer that is nicely malty at the start and wonderfully bitter in the finish. Nicely crafted Amber Ale.

UPDATED: OCT 28, 2006 22 oz bottle via Degarth (thanks!). Pours a semi clear amber with a huge bubbly beiege head. Nose has some subtle fruitiness and some toasty malts. Flavor starts out a bit bitter, then some orange/lemon, some sweet molasses, and finishes with some toffee and perhaps a tiny bit of chocolate malt. Has a mildly bitter aftertaste reminiscent of some English Bitters. Very nice beer.

This is my favorite Dunedin beer of the ones I’ve tried. I think it’s delicious! I was afraid it’d be hopped to the gills and darn near undrinkable, but the hops are mild and there’s a blend of both malty sweetness and a citrusy sourness (faint, though) that’s complex and enjoyable. The hops are strong enough to add a mild punch and their aroma is terrific. A very fun beer to drink.

Pours a deep amber color with a nice initial fizzy head that settles to a thin layer. The aroma is caramel malty, some floral hops and a bit of cereal. This beer tastes a little sweet but also a touch roasty, quite a bit of the caramel malts I got in the aroma, creamy, and fruity hops rounding it out. Slightly dry finish. This is quite good and very well-rounded. Thumbs up to Dunedin for putting out a solid product in a style that is typically quite boring.

(12oz bottle thanks to Swalden28) pours a beautiful red with good head and nice lacing. Nose of sweet caramel, but it is not in the taste. I love the hop profile on this one and it’s quite well balanced.

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2003 I really enjoyed this fine product from the dunedin brewery. Red ales always taste good to me, but i really enjoyed this one in particular. Very smooth, flows well. A good beer to have when your kicked back chillin.

Slightly toasted malty aroma, copper brown body, hints of ginger in the flavor and a palate that starts sour and turns into a sweet, soft nutty finish. Fairly unique and complex.

Not sure what I expect a red ale to taste like, but this isn’t it. Red-brown color with a sticky, off-white head. Nose not too prevalent, but surprisingly smoky with toffee malts. Tastes like a Scottish Ale to me, lots of wood smoke and peat, plenty of malt. Regrettably a bit thin and undercarbonated, but this doesn’t spoil the experience. Still good.

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.
