The best red beer I have ever had. A great color. With a fabulous head. The beer has a heavy malt and hop aroma, and taste. With a smooth finish. The body of the beer is thicker than other reds, which leads to a very good feel on the palate.

16.08.2008, 0,5l Can. Canned by Hansa Borg Bryggerier AS, Norway, ABV 4,7%. The colour is amber red. Firm head that lasts. Medium body with creamy texture. The beer is a little sweet with some bitternes in the aftertaste.

Poured from a 16oz can and served in an English pint glass. This beer poured a clear, light mahogany hue with a large, fluffy head of off-white foam. Decent lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of toasted malts, mild caramel, and corn. The flavor was highly metallic and contained faint notes of caramel and toasted grains. The mouthfeel was watery and light-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Corn and metal...not my cup of tea.

On tap. Amber colour, creamy head. Aroma of malts and iron, watery. Flavour is of roasted malts, a little caramel. Slight bitterness. OK beer.

Pretty lame beer. Usually I’m a big fan of red ales, but I had this on tap at the Fatman Bowl in Lake bluff, and it was pretty pedestrian. Drinkable, but wouldn’t have again.

I was a bit disappointed with this beer. I was expecting a good full-flavored, robust red beer bursting with lots of caramelized malt flavor. But what I got tasted like if they made a "light" red beer, this is what it would taste like. It wasn’t repulsive, but it definitely left much to be desired. I guess the best word for this beer would be "eh..."
