chronictonic (362), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 10, 2008 bottle - aroma was a combination of an oxidized, weak barleywine and body odor. not pleasant. very thin body with a slight malt flavor. bubbly mouthfeel. finishes with some toastiness and a mild hop bite. nothing horribly wrong with the beer, just very boring and mundane.
hellbilly (906), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Apr 28, 2008 either they are starting to make this again (bottles are showing up everywhere) or bockyhorsey is trying to kill me... very rich dark amber color with a soft light tan head and lacing that pretty much paints the glass. malty aroma with some sweet fruit, raisins, citrus, grass, light spiciness and some pine. unfortunately, the flavor is a watered down version of the aroma with a dry lightly bitter finish. medium body with nice carbonation and a soft texture. Numenor (818), Richmond, Virginia, USA Mar 27, 2008 This bottle is at least a year and a half old. Pure ruby red body with a nice white head. A slight citrus aroma with a bit of malt backing. Taste is very smooth, somewhat sweet with nice accents of roasted caramel, and light fruits. Ending is very smooth, effervescent actually. Very enjoyable. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Name: Redemption Red Ale

RAYBOY01 (1630), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 9, 2007 Hopped up amber with a distincyly dry bitter finish that lingers well after the drink is gone. The initial flavors were floral hopping, caramel roasted just right, and honey(?) Mainly I liked the bitter, bitter lingering finish best of all.
