| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2007 12 oz. bottle from jimbowood. Thanks Jimbo. Pours a clear reddish copper color with a small disappearing beige head. The aroma is caramel malts, pine and citrus hops, and earthiness. The flavor is very much the same with good balance. Medium/full bodied and smooth drinking. Solid brew. ElGaucho56 (390), USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 20, 2007 Sort of an underdeveloped hairy eyeball, interesting idea, a little underwhelming on the palate, plenty of bitterness, not enough malt character. rocbyter (910), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 16, 2007 Strong sweet caramel malt aroma. Clear amber color with a large white head that quickly goes away. Caramel malt taste through out with a slight hop bite at the end. Creamy palate. gsmitty80 (638), Washington DC, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Jul 7, 2007 Updated: Jul 15, 2007This ale is excellent. ’Red ales’ are a favorite style of mine as they mix the high hops of IPAs with the a finish of a weak belgian. Very nice dark copper pour with a opaque head that was not as prominent as pronounced. Aroma is of cinnamon and coriander. Dorwart (1812), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 3, 2007 Thin frothy head of fine bubbles. Decent carbonation. Sweet malty aroma and kind of vegetal. Hint of cinnamon in the background. Light hops presence. Kind of a mish mash aroma. Color is a bright crimson. Very nice color. Sweet and malty flavor with a bit of smoke, citrus fruit pith, resinous hops and grains. Nice alcohol warming as it goes down. Finishes kind of slick and malty. Strong hops bitterness and lingering dryness. A decent brew. ChainGangGuy (2549), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 4, 2007 Appearance: Pours a marvelously clear copper body with a white, diminishing head. The lacing was thin and uneven.
Smell: Caramel malts in the nose with a nice bit of toastiness. The hops are piney with fruity undertones.
Taste: Light bready caramel malts joined by crisp, hoppy flavors of pine resins and grapefruit. Very tea-like at times. Herbaceous hops round out the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, with a pleasingly smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Though the hops can be a little cutting at times its a rather likeable red ale, and quite quaffable. gunnfryd (3571), Kristiansand, Norway

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 2, 2007 Updated: Jul 13, 2007Deep reddish color - pretty lively level of carbonation. mmmm, I like this one - big and hoppy, nice lingering bitter finish - pretty dense mouthfeel. Makes me want to lick my lips - much more enjoyable for me than most of their other beers I’ve tried.
