halfonit (1055) - Fall River, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 15, 2009
On tap. Has a clear amber color. Aroma was very light. It was mainly full of malts. Taste was pretty much the same. I was expecting a little more from these guys.

MadIndian (2113) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 10, 2009
On tap during the annual Boston/Salem/Marble head tour. Samled at the brewery. What a dissapointment the tour was this time around. This was the first year that you really felt rushed. Anyway this beer had a red pour with thin off white head. Nasty metallic taste to it. The entire group did not like this one.

I had this on a recent trip to Boston after a tour of the Samuel Adams brewery. I really enjoyed this beer and I think it is one of SA’s best brews. I only wish it was available outside of Boston.

Duhast500 (364) - Exile In Medford, Massachusetts, USA - AUG 31, 2009
Poured from the tap into a pint glass. The color is a deep red with an amber tint. Has some slight white foamy head, some nice lacing as well. The smell is light, a mix of caramel and some roasted malts. The taste is of roasted malt, somewhat like a good porter. Some strong caramel and brown sugar flavor. Is a bit creamy as well This beer has a great feel to it, with a nice refreshing. crsip taste. It goes down easy and is pretty darn smooth.

alobar (2300) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 15, 2009
On tap at Bull and Finch. No head. Decent aroma of caramel and toffee malts. Dominant malt flavor with caramel and toffee present with some nuts and a touch of sweetness. Better than the Irish Red.

fredandboboflo (1570) - East Setauket, New York, USA - JUL 22, 2009
Tap a ways back. Expectedly dull, sweet, vaguely caramelly malt, maybe a hint of red fruit, or maybe it was just the word red in the name that had me thinking that. The definition of boring.

Cletus (6182) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 20, 2009
Pours reddish/brown with a thin tan head. Smells of sweet malt, some fruit, rosey. Tastes of caramel, toffee, earthy. Decent and the proceeds are going to a good cause.

Acknud (1024) - Morganfield, Kentucky, USA - JUL 12, 2009
Special beer. Only available on tap in the Boston area. I had mine during a brewery tour. Average. Nothing to get excited about. Pretty color. Taste is balanced between malt and hops.
