This was an interesting beer from a fairly new brewery, and one of the best Ambers I’ve ever had. Poured from the bottle to an amber red with brown tint and a medium off-white head that lingered well and left okay lacing. Aroma was fruity hops, mostly apples and grapes in this medium carbonated beer. The flavor and mouthfeel started out as a continuation of this fruity nose, but quickly turned semi-sour, much like a Flemish Sour, though not as pronounced. Finish likewise, was tangy and sour, but very tasty. A friend picked some of this up for me in WV, and I hope it makes it to Atlanta sometime soon.

Pours a deep rich brown with a thick head. Slight red tint, but mostly solid dark brown. Really nice looking. Aroma was sweet and malty. Flavor was VERY surprising. I don’t know why, but from a Red Ale, I didnt expect it to be so...flavorful at all. Very rich, sweet, malty, nutty. All the great attributes of a brown ale, but in what they label a Red Ale. Went down unbelievably smooth. This is very good. I’m becoming impressed with this Mountaineer Brewing Company, after only 2 beers.

12 oz bottle. Pours deep red with thin, short-lived head. Aroma is hops over malt. Taste is malt over hops, but balance turns out nicely. Definite caramel, fruity-sweet, medium carbonation, medium body. Enjoyably easy to drink.

Thanks Ron for the trade - this was a fine beer. Brown with bright red highlights. Decent head. Cherry, licorice, smoke and malt aromas. Toffee and caramel are very prevalent in the palate. Very enjoyable.

A very malty aroma that reminds me of light brown sugar. A deep almost brown pour. Flavor is semi sweet maltiness with a tad of some kind of bitter finish. Just a bit foamy for me but not bad. I almost scored it a point higher on palate but couldn’t. Overall pretty decent drinker. It reminded me some of a brown ale.
