A 12 oz. bottle from Hayduke with whom it was shared via Facebook chat. This beer poured a hazy light brown with an evenly layered tan head of small bubbles. The nose began with malt but soon was floral and pine hops. The flavor is not really a red ale which is what the name says. A pale ale is closer. The hops are center with that pine and floral. They are rather bitter but there is only a small taste of grapefruit. Caramel malt and some nice fruit compliment. This was a nice beer with just enough complexity and some nice tastes. A very nice beer from Lockdown.

Uh oh... infected bottle alert. This one was purchased at Total Wine & More in Sac. All foam in the glass, literally no liquid. A sip of liquid from the bottle turned to instant foam in my mouth with a gagging, soapy, plastic, metallic flavor. I’m sorry to have to do this, but poor quality control deserves a poor rating.

Not too bad but nothing special. It was good. I liked it overall but it was really pretty balanced but just funky as a whole.

This 12 oz. bottle was shared with Strykzone via Facebook chat. It poured a cloudy light amber with a nice tan head and good lacing. Nose is malty with a lot of floral and pine hops on top. Medium body and smooth clean mouthfeel. Flavor is caramel malts with some citrus bitterness. Good bitter finish. Nice.

bottle thanks to bhensonb. poured amber with a white head. aroma was caramel, fruity, and red apple. flavor was much the same plus a slight hop bitter. body was light with medium carbonation.

bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. poured a deep amber with a cream head. nose is heavy caramel, light hops, and bitter notes. nice on the palate, flavor is caramel, light hops, sticky finish.

Pours reddish brown with a decent beige head and a toffee aroma. There is a funky burnt malt flavor that is neither sweet nor bitter.

Draft at the California Brewers Festival. Pours reddish amber with a light white head. Malty aroma. Medium body. Average carbonation. Flavor is astringent medium roasted caramel. Finishes dryish and bitter.
