Dégustée à la succursale de Union Square. Couleur ambrée. Très belle mousse qui adhère au verre et conserve sa dentelle. Très très mince en bouche. Sent la tourbe mouillée. Douce en attaque et en finale. Aucune amertume, aucune effervescence. On pourrait presque la boire à la paille! Finale sèche. Bière drabe, banale et sans intérêt.

Oct 10, 2008 The aroma is mainly caramel malts, with some spicy/earthy notes, I imagine from hops. The appearance is red (duh!), like a ruby red, with a dissipating white foam. the flavor is mainly malty sweet, caramel, toffee, with a slight tempering from hops. The finish is a balance between malt sweetness and hops, with the hops winning the contest. Ok beer, nothing I’d go out of my way for.

Jun 8, 2008 growler-pours a dissipating off white head and copper/red color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel, secondary spice hops. Taste is sweet/sugary medium malt-caramel, some cherry, very faint spice hops to balance but very boring. On the syrupy side. Minimum carbonation.

Nov 28, 2007 Draught in Time Square location: This one poured a dark, ruby red with an off-white head. It leaves some lacing. The nose is light, with sweet, floral and roasty notes. The taste is mildly sweet, with a bit of roastiness and a good bit of nuttiness. OK.

Oct 13, 2007 A brewpub where there are none in the nation’s biggest city. You expect more. But you get this. It’s ok. That’s all. Ok.
