On draught at the micro-brewery tavern/campground near Unity, Wisconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thick off-white head that slowly dissipates and leaves behind some spotty lacing and off-white ring. Aroma of caramel malt, some roasted nuts, flowery hops and a touch of toffee. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of caramel malt, fruity apples/pear, some flowery hops and a touch of mild spice. Finish has a good balance of malt and flowery hop aftertaste that quickly turns to a crisp and clean cut finish. The crisp finish from the brewery’s new location water is a major improvement from the past batches.

Dark copper color with no head. Muddled aroma that seems to be some grains, but nothing stands out. Taste is earthy, actually pretty spot on to being a wet pile of leaves. Cardboard starting to creap in.

<i>(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with hopdog, thanks Steve!)</i> Amber waves of grain and corn are the feature of this mediocre red ale. It’s lightly sweet and caramely, somewhat toasty, and I don’t think there are any hops in this beer whatsoever. The nose is all cheap smelling corn. Light-medium body, but this beer gets watery in a hurry. Medium amber body is a bit hazy, but I can clearly see that there are no carbonation bubbles rising through the beer. Barely a filmy layer of head forms during the pour, and that quickly fades to a tiny ring. Frankly, this is one of the worst red ales I’ve ever tasted. It’s like drinking a golden ale with food coloring.

A thin-bodied amber brew with a filmy off-white head, this has a sweet caramel aroma with rotting apples thrown in for snicks. The taste is a weak caramel malt with the slightest hint of a non-hop bitterness. With selling points like that, it’s no wonder there’sno commercial description.<br /><br /><font size=-4>Thanks & a tip o’ the pint to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=28565><u>El Borracho</u></a> and <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=18266><u>RAYBOY01</u></a>.<font size=-1><br />

Poured a medium and cloudy amber with virtually no head. Kinda of a skunky cabbage aroma. Tastes like water with a slice of lemon in it. Very thin. I’m on my way to dump this one out...
