bottle from a trade...reddish amber pour with minimal head. aroma of diacetyl and diacetyl and diacetyl...and sugar...nothing else. flavor of some floral hops smothered in theater popcorn butter...gross

ordered at the Brighton Beer Garden, 12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. So faint redish colored clear beer with think head. The aroma was a punchy sourness like cabbage and citrus hop. Odd but interesting on the smell. The taste was a lil sour to but with an herbal finish. Pretty dam different. I liked it but would not recommend for everyone

aroma is usually a gimme with me but this has one awful smell..like feet covered in vinegar..appearance fine..cloudy brown/red like apple juice off white head and lacing..tastes like maple syrup and lemons sprinkl;ed with pepper,kind of like a cough drop a tingly sick sweet palate that is very unappealing..like rancid apple juice..makes Killian’s taste like Moet very unpleasnat and though Im halfway through now may wind up in the drain

a very hoppy red ale with slightly floral aroma. the appearance is cloudy with copper hue. though this brew is rather bitter, it does not feel like a 110 ibu drink.

The look gives a huge, massive ice cream float head. Very dark cherry red. Slightly hazy but mostly clear. Looks nicely-bodied. Leaves a big spiderweb of lace. Has a thick amber smell. Roasted malt with a bitter amber aroma. Smells just like a bitter malt. Taste has bitter malt, but also a sweet cherry/berry sweetness. Nice for an amber, not overly bitter because of the sweet balance. The hops are bitter but only a slight counterpoint. Double bitter. Feels smooth and has a bit of viscosity; almost a cherry juice feel. A bit dry and leaves a big, bitter film. This is too bitter to knock back all night long, but a good one-off.

Very refreshing, mildly hoppy red ale. I thought this was gem in a normally bland genre. Rated 8/7/08

Bottle. Pours a deep amber-red with a light khaki head. Nose is huge on the toffee and caramel. Flavor is interesting. I didn’t get the sweetness I expected. Some sweet maltiness and caramel, but not much. Very bready. The alcohol is quite perceptible, despite not being terrible high. A bit of raisin and plum, perhaps. Medium in body and somewhat warming. Finish is a little sticky, a little bitter, a little sweet. Interesting. Not totally sure how I feel about this one. Decent, anyway.

A- dark amber/red hue to the body with white head that has great retention. S-Smell is strong fo dark fruits, carmel, and malt. maybe a little bit of hops. T- this is pretty hoppy. The hops balance with the malt and dark fruit but its hoppiness is comparable to an IPA. P- moderately heavy body with small amount of carbonation. Nice for a strong ale. O-this is something definitely worth a try but I don’t know if I will order it again. Its decently drinkable. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 04-16-2007 13:39:22

DecemBeer. Sample from a bottle shared by decaturstevo. Red orange, beige head. Sweet fruity, caramel aroma. Taste is thinner, fizzy, caramel, fruits.

Bottle at an impromptu tasting at lithy’s. Pours dark copper with thin offwhite head. The aroma is toast and grapefruit, caramel, and some grass. The flavor is mellow toast with caramel in the background, some orange and lime. Not too shabby.
