Medium, rather dense cream-coloured head over rather still metallic amber-copper beer. Superbly fruity USA-hops. Citrus, resin, exotic fruit. Bitter, but fast gone impression, only to return, much diminished and more metallic in the aftertaste. Meanwhilie, try to imagine utterly dry, totally non-sweet caramel. Finish shows some of the USA hops from the nose. Very empty MF. Even keeping in mind it only features 4%, compared to some other, recent low alcohols, this is watery. Nose is great. If only the rest followed in the same vein.

Bottle shared by Joes. Clear light amber red color, small white to off - white head. Smell malts, lightly hops, a bit flowery. Taste malts, blossom, grassy, a bit hoppy, decently bitter. Very nice beer.

Bottle @ joes. Orange to copper colou with a lacing white head. Smells hops, pine, fresh. Tastes hoppy, bitter, fresh, fruity, pine - but too thin. Watery, soft carbo.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured, smaller stable off-white foam, hazy, fruity-hoppy nose with a skunky touch; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, relatively dry and light bodied; lingering bitter-hoppy finish with that barnyardy touch again. Really not my personal favourite…

Bottle @ de Molen. Clear amber color, short head. Aroma of american hop, grapefruit, some pine, slight malty as well. Taste is a bit bitter and dry, quite thin and watery though. For 4% it’s ok and its very easy to drink, but it’s just a bit thin.

Bottle at the De Molen second Tuesday tasting, April 2013. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin glass hugging head. The aroma is grassy and hoppy leading to a medium bitter flavour with lots of American hops. It’s a little metallic too , but the hops make up for that slightly negative qualities!

Bottle @ De Molen. Aroma is big and hoppy, fruity mostly citric notes. Flavour is thin, crisp, hoppy and very refreshing, again mostly citric fruity hop notes. Long lingering. Awesome session ale.

Dobre, choć nie rewelacyjne jak dla mnie i dla tego gatunku. Trochę mdławe i wyrznie chmielne, za malo slodowosci. Kolor takze jakby nie czerwony jak w nazwie, ale są to tylko odcienie w bursztybie. Piana za to fajna, ladna i trwala.

Bottle, 4.1% on the label. Pale amber color. Grapefruit and floral hops in the slightly yeasty aroma and flavor. Thinnish. Fairly refreshing. Enough hops. Pleasant ale.

330ml bottle. Clear amber colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, off-white head. Hoppy aroma has notes of pine, grapefruit and tangerine. Taste is bitter hoppy, cautious hints of grapefruit and pine. Nice one.
