Apr 9, 2007 This would make a great pelican beer for 6 packs, very easy drinking and very well made. Pours red/copper with a soft off-white head. Lots of juicy citrus hops balanced very well against the light caramel malt flavor. Very easy on the palate, almost feeling watery, but packs a lot of flavor for such an easy drinking beer.

Mar 13, 2006 This is a nice little session beer. Not too overwhelming and quite easy to drink. Nice toasty malted flavors with a rich bit of fruitiness, some really good creaminess and a nice lingering acidity and a dry herbal hop finish.

May 28, 2005 A good beer. Needs a little more time int he keg and this would be a great beer. I liked the tones it had and the color was very good.

Mar 25, 2005 Had this today on tap at the brewpub.
Its quiet a nice brown colour,quite dark for a "red", has a large tan head.
Smell is mostly of caramel malts though the hops to show a little.
I did not like the taste of this to begin with, at the start I found it too sweet and watery,but as it warmed more robust characteristics took hold, the malts became less sweet and more caramel and the hops showed well at the end.
Thin mouthfeel to start ,but thickened as it warmed ,eventually being rather smooth and nice.
A drinkable red ale in the end,not too bad at all.
