<i>On tap.</i><br />Pours a deep ruby red with tightly packed slightly off-white head that doesnt leave much lacing. Aroma gives of very little but some dry grain and moderate hops. Flavor has a surprising burst of fruity esters that I would not expect to find in a red lager and seems out of place. Dry grain and medium hop bitterness show as well, as does enough caramel malt to provide some balance. Medium body with a fairly lively palate. A pretty average beer that neither offends thrills.

Jun 18, 2008 Poured a dark but clear red colour with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy, biscuit malts, and toffee. Taste is a little dissapointing, a little over malty in my opinion. Finishes dry.

Dec 26, 2007 Nice red color, with a lot of lace for some reason. Light body and flavor with little hops present. Similar in flavor to the Liene Red. Easy drinking, but not much going on.

May 28, 2007 Nice red color. No head but some caramel on the nose. Similar taste with a water finish and that sourness from the water. Faint hops.

May 24, 2007 Fourth stop during May 07 brewpub tour. Fresh, on tap at the brewpub, this pours a clear coppery red brew with a short lived off white head. Aroma has character of caramel, apple juice, musty malt, and a touch of cherry. Taste is light body, some carbonation but a smooth finish with little hop aftertaste.
