AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

jgb9348 (3964) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - OCT 26, 2003

Brownish amber in colour with a thin off-white head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, a bit of caramel and some faint spiceyness. Medium-bodied; Roasty malt taste with some subtle spices and sugars. Aftertaste bittered from the roasted malt, but not overpowered. Overall, I thought this was more of a Scottish Ale, and actually liked it a decent amount. Nothing wrong with the pint I had! I got this on draught at the Pizza Plant in Buffalo, New York.

BBB63 (5406) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - JUN 25, 2003

On tap in Buffalo - Red hue with a small white head, good lacing. Light to medium-bodied. Toasted grain, floral, berry, plum, and apple detected on the nose. Moderate sweetness and bitterness, hoppy and fruity tasting. Dry and lively mouthfeel. Lightly astringent finish. A very average ale.

frylock (1127) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - APR 27, 2003

Cask conditoned, I have never tried anyother versions of this, and I am guessing the cask conditoned version is better. Apperance is almost tan/brown, not really red at all. As others have said nothing really jumps out about this beer, but overall it is not a bad offering

lovibond (115) - New York, USA - NOV 19, 2002

Great mouthfeel and color. Flavor would be better if it didn’t have so much chocolate. Wish they’d use something else for color. Still, well above average.

Am I the only one who felt this tasted a bit like a pale ale? Billed itself as a "red" ale. Not quite.

estoppel (1028) - Buffalo, New York, USA - AUG 17, 2002

Malty and roasty, but somewhat one-dimensional. The guy at the tasting described it as an Irish Red Ale, but it’s not red.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - DEC 16, 2001

Medium chestnut colour, some caramel and earthy malts. Nothing really wrong with it, but nothing right either. I’ve had a hundred beers just like it.
