COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Red Tail Ale - The Legend is our flagship brand. It is brewed in the traditional "old world" manner, using premium two-row malted barley, hops and our own special proprietary yeast strain. It is an amber ale with a rich complex refreshing flavor and a crisp dry finish. Red Tail Ale is "Bottle Conditioned." Like good wine, Red Tail Ale is a perfect complement to fine dining.

It pours a crystal-clear amber. It has a thin white head that quickly disappears. It has little to no lacing, and a taste that is indistinguishable.

OKplus (379) - Oklahoma, USA - APR 30, 2013
A - Pours a copper amber with a small head that sinks and forms a big bubbled collar. S - Caramel and toffee, white bread, honey. T - Toasted toffee, some citrus tang, along with a brown sugar cherry sweetness. A muted bitterness in the background toward the finish. M - Light to medium body. Low carbonation. Great aroma on this one. The taste isn’t as good the smell. It has some artificial-like flavors going on. Easy drinking though. Serving type: bottle 01-28-2011

wildbeercat (121) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - APR 5, 2013
From a 12 fl oz / 355mL bottle into a tasting glass. Aroma: Strong malts and bitter hops. Nice, pleasant balance and contrast. Appearance: Not quite red. More of a light amber, rust orange. Taste: Almost citrusy? Maybe a little caramel? There’s a light sweetness that goes very well with the bitterness of the hops. Palate: Medium body, smooth, and a decent lasting finish. Overall: Pretty good. Very interesting beer! I really like the balance and contrast between the flavors.
