odellrules (4), New Albany, Indiana, USA does not count Mar 12, 2008 Good beer with a catchy name. Not too strong and not too bland, and not bud for sure!!!! TheBeerOrg (1368), Kentucky, USA Jan 6, 2008 Pours dark reddish amber with a mostly receding wispy off-white head. Aroma is similar to Elector: piney, grapefruit, and crystal malt. Taste is resinous, tropical fruits, grapefruit, vinous hops with a bit of residual lactose sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied and lightly resinous with moderate carbonation. The lactose was really only dectable in the mouthfeel, and just contributed to a slickness and light sweetness. I agree with mnurda, this is much more like a hoppy red ale. mnurda (327), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Feb 19, 2007 Tried this after a large meal of Rich-Os delicious pizza, so my taste buds were a bit numb. But I think I would like this beer on a hot day. A nice hoppy Red sort of Ale. Will definitely try this again when I return in March. smoosh (523), New Albany, Indiana, USA Jul 1, 2006 Draft - deep crimson to ruby body. Almost purple. A small ring of beige foam. Malty aroma. The flavor is a bit sweet and maybe a touch sour with a hint of bitterness. Interesting, but I wouldn’t plan a session around it. sneagrams3 (1324), St. Louis, Missouri, USA May 28, 2006 On tap from the St. Louis Microfest. Dark ruby hue with an off-tan head. Sweet malt nose. Creamy with a bitter hop finish. slight woody note?
